FIRST STEPS:

1. Prepare your property for sale:
Our Helpful Hints Sheet advises on how this can be done and will give you some good ideas for displaying your property to perfection. First impressions are the most lasting impressions. Good curb appeal is vital, along with a sparkling clean, welcoming front entrance.

2. Have a current market analysis prepared by a knowledgeable realtor in your area, to establish fair market value:
This will be based on current listings and recent sales, and will vary with the time of year and the vagaries of the market.

MARKETING:

In order to obtain the best price, your property needs to be exposed to the largest number of potential purchasers possible. Work with a realtor who will provide extensive marketing:

SELLING:

1. Leave enough time:
Allow a good four months from start to moving day. The average time to sell a property is about two months, but varies enormously depending on area and time of year. You will need a minimum of 2 weeks from offer to closing, usually more.

2. Working with a Realtor:
It is important to read and understand the Working with a Realtor sheet provided by the Real Estate Board. Most buyers work under contract with their realtor, so this realtor is working for them and provides only customer service to the seller.

3. The Offer:
Read and become familiar with the Offer Form ahead of time. Our job is to be your representative at the offer presentation and to negotiate a good sale price for you. We can also recommend reliable, lawyers, moving companies, etc.(see Resources) and we will keep in touch until closing to make sure everything progresses smoothly.

We would be happy to help you with your real estate needs and questions
