House Selling Checklist

Selling a house can be a very involved process. By keeping track of your progress with this checklist, you can eliminate many of the pitfalls, time delays and aggravations that can erupt at any time during the house selling period. Bookmark this page so that you can return to it frequently and maintain control over the experience.

  • Be an informed seller. There is a lot of information on this Web Site that will assist you. There are also numerous guides available on specific subjects.
  • Familiarize yourself on how to price your house. Pulling a price "out of the air" is almost never successful. If you would like comparable sales prices in your neighborhood, CENTURY 21 Lakes Region Realty will provide you with a complimentary Comprehensive Market Analysis of the property you wish to sell. Knowing how much your home can be worth is one of the first steps in beginning to market the property. Click here for more information.
  • Spend time on the house preparation phase. It will probably be the most productive time you can spend!
  • For tax purposes, develop a record of all home improvements made to your house.
  • Decide whether or not to do a pre-listing home inspection. Visit our YELLOW PAGES for a list of local building inspectors.
  • Have a yard sale before you list. Sell, donate, or trash everything you don't need.
  • Decide whether you want to offer a Home Warranty with your house. The CENTURY 21 Home Protection Plan protects your home during the list period prior to the purchase of the plan which occurs at the time of sale. At that point your buyer is protected for a full year thereafter. This can be a great selling tool. It will give you an edge over those properties not offering such a plan.
  • Get familiar with current rates and programs by contacting a CENTURY 21 mortgage specialist. Be at least as knowledgeable as your buyers.
  • Know how to best show your home.
  • When it is time to negotiate, learn how to deal with offers and familiarize yourself with contracts. If you need to review an example of purchase offers, please contact us for the form(s) you would like us to email to you.
  • Looking to buy another home? Visit our RELOCATION site to learn more about property values in the area in which you are looking to purchase. Our exclusive affiliation with International Relocation Services allows us to place you in contact with a knowledgeable REALTOR® in the area(s) of interest to you. Information packages will soon be on their way to you. Visit International Relocation Services now.
  • Make moving plans early. Don't wait until the last minute!
  • Know what is involved at closing and settlement. Your CENTURY 21 Lakes Region Realty agent can provide you with a closing checklist as well as provide you with an estimate of your anticipated closing proceeds.
  • We strive to make your move as smooth and as pleasant an experience as possible. We look forward to helping you with your real estate needs!
