The selling price of your home is determined in several ways. The real estate market is constantly fluctuating, so pricing is not an exact science. It’s a reasonable figure derived from a number of different components. It is critical that you do not overprice your home for this can negatively affect the marketing of your home. Request a Comparative Market Analysis from your agent that you can then review together and use to determine the best sales price for your home.
There are several different types of listing contracts, but very few of them are used.

Showing your home to potential buyers is critical to your success. Your house should always be available for show – achieve this with a lock box. Realtors will typically call to give advance notice when someone is coming to view your home. It is best if the homeowner is not present at this time and that your home is neat, clean, free of clutter and not portraying any fragrances. Download our Home Showing Checklist to learn more.
