How you control the sale of your home

There are four reasons a property sells:

• Location. You have no control over the location of your home, but its location helps determine value.
  
  
• Price. You control this. The right price can only be determined by a well-researched market evaluation. As a home seller, you should get a written or computerized market analysis comparing your home to similar properties.
  
  
• Condition. You control this also. Your home’s condition is vital to a sale. A clean, well-maintained home enjoys a competitive edge over all the other homes on the market. You’ll sell faster and at a higher price if you “stage” your home to enhance its appeal.
  
  
• REALTOR®. The REALTOR® advises you on market conditions, pricing and staging recommendations, contracting, financing, title work, appraising, and closing activities. Just as you insist on an experienced well-prepared doctor to treat your family, you want a REALTOR® with a proven track record who does their homework representing you in the sale of your home.
