"Make no little plans; they
have no magic to stir men's
blood...make big plans, aim
high in hope and work."

The 6 most important questions to ask when you are selling a home.

    1.  Why am I selling?
    2.  Where am I going to live next?
    3.  When do I want to be in my new home?
    4.  What price do I expect to get for my home?
    5.  How much money and time can I invest to get my home ready for sale (if improvements are
         needed)?
    6.  If I cannot get my price within my time requirements, what are my options?

Questions 1, 2 & 3

Sail Realty's Home Selling Checklist provides space to answer these questions and identify other concerns.  We recommend that each adult member of the selling household complete the checklist separately, and then compare them.  This process will give you insight into areas of needed discussion before and as you go through the process of selling your home.

Question 4 -- What price do I expect to get for my home?

You, the owner of the home, decide the price at which your home will be offered for sale.  While Sail Realty will provide a Competitive Market Analysis ("CMA"), the final decision is yours.  Begin this process by learning about recent sales in your neighborhood and thinking about how your home may be different from those which recently sold.

Question 5 -- How much money and time can I invest to get my home ready for sale (if improvements
           are needed)?

This is closely related to Question 4.  As you think about the homes that recently sold, identify areas of improvement which your home may need to get top dollar.  For example, does the exterior need to be painted?  Can some new landscaping increase your curb appeal?  Begin to get estimates for needed work.  While Sail Realty will provide suggestions for improvements, if needed, it is useful to begin to think about this important aspect of selling your home.  Consider your schedule.  How much time will you and your family be able to devote to preparing your home for sale?

Question 6 -- If I cannot get my price within my time requirements, what are my options?

It is never too early to being to develop answers to this important question.
