LD O S

1. Interview several agents before making your final choice.

2. Know your rights and obligations.

Have your realtor explain the contract in detail.

3. Always base your price on market value rather than needs or emotions. Your Realtor should give you detailed information so you can determine the market value of your home.

4. If the agent suggests your home needs some TLC, consider carefully doing the required fixups. TLC is one thing renovations and remodeling something totally different.

5. Curb appeal is a must. Make sure the

outside is as attractive as the inside.

8. Your house must be clean, de-cluttered and staged for all showings.

9. Consider the first offer very seriously. It’s may be the best you will get. Buyers often look for a long time for the right property and act quickly when the right one comes on the market.

10. If the house isn’t selling, there is only one reason. THE PRICE IS NOT RIGHT FOR THIS PROPERTY, IN THIS CONDITION, IN THIS MARKET. If the price is too high for this market, make only one adjustment, not several small ones. Buyers notice and wait to see how low you will go.

I’D love to help you sell your property. Call me to set up an appointment.
