Get to Know the Process
There’s a lot to know about selling a home. You can always lean on your agent, but why not start looking through the next few steps now so you know what to expect? The fewer surprises, the better.
Ask your agent:
- What is the typical timeline for selling a home?
- What can I do to make sure everything runs smoothly?
- Is there anyone else I’ll need to work with for the sale?
Discover Your Other Costs
Selling your home involves some extra expenses that change the amount you’ll walk away with. Talk to your agent about what to expect.
Ask your agent:
- What are the costs of selling a home?
- Are there any optional or extra costs I should consider?
- When do I need to pay those costs?
Set a Price for the Home
Your agent is the expert and will help you figure out what to ask for based on the market and their experience in your area. But you know your home best, so bring any insights you have to the table – the more your agent has to work with, the better.
Ask your agent:
- How’s the market?
- What should our pricing strategy be?
- How much would I actually make at this price?
Buy Your Next Home (Optional)
If you’re purchasing a new home, make your life easier and use our buyer planner as well.
Ask your agent:
- When should I start the buying process?
- How will the selling price and my current mortgage affect my buying budget?
- If I make an offer, should it be contingent on the purchase of my new home?
