Evaluating similar offers and letting the seller know what other options the customer is considering.

Do your research and compare similar properties in the area to ensure that the asking price is appropriate. Also, consider factors such as taxes, insurance costs, utility bills, maintenance fees and any other expenses associated with owning a home.

Make sure to get an independent evaluation of the property to ensure it doesn’t have any hidden defects or costly maintenance issues that might affect its value.

Be sure to investigate the neighborhood, including schools and public transportation, which may affect future resale value.

3 tips I always give to first-time home sellers that make my work easier:

1. Try professional photos. You have one chance to impress possible buyers. Use it wisely.
2. Be flexible with home showings. Maybe your possible buyers won't appreciate your house's potential if there are dogs running around or too many people inside.
3. Respond promptly to a purchase offer. Some people don't have much time to wait for an answer. Be quick and responsive!
