8. Marketing your home
There are many ways to market your home:
· Writing your sell ad
· Home Photos: a picture can describe a thousand word
· Lawn signs
· Open houses
· Home Brochures/Information sheets
· The MLS (Multiple Listing Service) provided by the agents
· You are your home's best salesman
9. Negotiating an offer on your home: This is best accomplished with the help of an agent or a lawyer as it can very awkward to do face to face with the buyer.
10. Home inspections: You will want to accompany the inspector and write down things that she says so that nothing is overlooked. As a seller, it is your obligation to remedy the items needed or compensate the buyer through cash at closing or a price reduction. This is the case because your sales price that you set and the eventual offer that the buyer puts in already assumes that these items are done and in working order.
11. Closing: Again, closing is another phase that I prefer to do separately. It can be very awkward to close face to face with the buyer. Easier to do separately and most competent closing agents can assist you.
