Deciding to Sell

Selling your property is a significant decision that starts with the reason that makes doing so attractive or necessary for you. Your case is unique and comes with its own parameters for what you need or want, and what is possible.

Engaging a Realtor® as your listing broker brings greater visibility and adds a level of professionalism to support the entire process of preparation, marketing, and selling your property.

One of the most important aspects of the process is determining the right selling price. Even in a seller's market, you need to settle on a reasonable number. A current comparative market analysis (CMA) gives you a good idea of what your property's actual value might be. (If your buyer is using a lender, the purchase price will have to meet the lender's appraisal criteria.)

A side note — If you recently purchased the property you are planning to sell, you will likely have closing costs that you did not have as a buyer. That may make quite a difference to your financial bottom line once the transaction closes.
