BUYING A HOME:

• Choose a qualified real estate professional.
• Determine how much you can afford to spend.
• Visit your local lender to pre-qualify for a mortgage.
• Make a list of the type of home and what features you prefer.
• Decide on location and what criteria you need; schools, commute time, shopping, etc.
  

SELLING A HOME:

• Choose a qualified real estate professional.
• Ask about marketing plan; MLS listing, advertising, signage, etc.
• Pricing your home correctly. Your real estate professional will
  prepare a Comparative Marketing Analysis (CMA) which will help
  determine the asking price. Overpricing will scare off potential buyers
  and underpricing will lose you valuable dollars
• Prepare your home to show. The first impression of the buyer is important.
  The house should have “curb appeal”. Nice lawn, flowers, fresh paint, clean
  windows, etc. The inside should be clutter-free so that it will appear larger,
  the home should be clean and neat. Fresh flowers and candles add to the
  home’s appearance.
• Consider hiring a handyman to fix any unsightly problems.
• Be prepared to show your home as often as possible.

Your efforts, together with the marketing efforts of a real estate professional,
will lead to buyer interest in your home.
