Below are some of the things you should do BEFORE you list your home for Sale.
First ask yourself why you want to sell the house?   Are you going to be downsizing?  Do you need a bigger home?  Do you want to live in  a different community?  Is your job transferring you?   If you do not have a definite answer for this question then you may not be ready to sell.  Motivation is the key to selling your home quickly and pricing it where you need it to be.

I had no intention of pursuing that … (6 comments)

What do you look like online?
Ask yourself this question, what do I look like online?  If you don't know I suggest you google your own name and see.  I was recently searching the internet and came across a very disturbing article about an agent friend of mine.  After doing some of my own due diligence to confirm it was my friend they were referring to, I quickly contacted my friend and told them what I found.  Needless to say they were upset and didn't know it was "out there".  Lucky for them they were able to remove it before having … (6 comments)
