1. Decide When to Sell

• Consult your personal and financial future plan
  to see where a sale fits in, and if it will have
  a positive flow-on effect for your future goals.

2. Get a Real Estate Agent
A real estate agent will generally take a
commission in the range of 3 to 5 of your sale
price, so it pays to compare what they can offer
you, their track record, testimonials, and any
sales data they can provide which may indicate
their performance.

  relationship between you and the agent, and also
  set a time limit to sell your home.

4. Determine a Realistic Asking Price

in the marketplace, attract buyers to
inspections, and will pay you a maximum return on
your investment
