Choosing the right agent is key to selling your home successfully. Interview multiple Realtors, ask about local experience, pricing accuracy, marketing plans, communication, and references to ensure you're working with a trusted professional.
Before selling, define your goals, confirm financing, and price your home competitively. Work with an agent, clarify included items, and protect yourself with contingencies if buying another property. Preparation ensures smoother, faster sales.
Seller closing costs include mortgage payoff, agent commissions (6%), escrow, title, and possible repairs or concessions. Estimate 1.5% of sale price plus property taxes, loan balances, and extras to know your final net proceeds.
To sell faster and for more money, prep your home: eliminate odors, declutter, use neutral paint, enhance lighting, remove bulky furniture, organize closets, and stage bathrooms. Small changes create a big impact on buyers.
