\t\t\tWhen setting a price, the important thing is to be realistic. If the price is too high, you may not find a buyer. Too low, and you cheat yourself out of money.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tThis analysis will describe homes in your area that have recently withdrawn from the market and may compare specific features of your home to others.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tOnce you\u2019ve decided on a price range, the REALTOR\u00ae helps you calculate an estimated amount you might net from the sale. Ask your REALTOR\u00ae what closing costs you will incur.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tAfter you choose a REALTOR\u00ae, you will likely sign a listing agreement\u00a0 where you agree to allow them to sell your home during a given period and pay a fee upon sale.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tMost REALTORS\u00ae will ask for an exclusive right-to-sell listing. This means that you will owe the broker a commission regardless of who finds a buyer during the listing period.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tIn preparing your home for viewing by prospective buyers, remember that people buy on emotions. Your home has to feel right, or buyers will look elsewhere.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tWhen a buyer makes an offer on your home, your REALTOR\u00ae will contact you promptly. The written offer lays out all the terms of the proposed transaction and becomes a binding contract if you sign it.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tThe sale formally ends at the closing table. In most transactions, the closing lasts less than an hour and often occurs at the title company office. Be sure to bring your driver\u2019s license to the closing.<\/p>\n
