Once a qualified realtor has been hired, he or she can then help you prepare to sell your home for the best value. The first step will be to gather information. Attend a few open houses to see what you like and don't like. Incorporate these ideas into your own marketing strategy.

You'll then need to decide on an asking price. If you set it too high, you'll not attract any buyers. If the price is too low, you might have a better chance of selling quickly, but you'll end up losing money. Your realtor will help you choose an acceptable price. Remember, your asking price is only a starting point and you should be willing to negotiate.

Finally, you'll want to get your house ready to show. Complete any minor home repairs that need to be done. Avoid presenting your house as a "fixer upper." Be careful, however, not to take on too many major home repairs before you sell as they will cost you money and can interfere with people viewing the house.
