Selling Tips

Your Agent should show you research to back up any recommendations.

Ask your friends and acquaintances for recommendations, but make your final choice based on your needs.

Look for traits such as enthusiasm, empathy, perseverance, extensive knowledge, and a firm commitment to the business in your Agent.

Choose a local Agent.

Ask for references from the Agent.

Ask the Agent to show you what will be done to market your home.

Look for a Agent who tells you what he or she knows from experience in the market, and doesn't just try to flatter you.

At market value, you open your home up to more people who can afford the price, so don't list your property at a higher price without good reason.

Make a good first impression of your home, both in the interior and exterior.

Let the Agent turn any comments about the shortcomings of your home into a selling point.
