What Sells Real Estate?

Most people have heard the term "location, location, location!" It is indeed one of the most important considerations for most home buyers. However, other factors will also help determine the value and marketability of your home. These include:

• The condition of the property
• The asking price
• The terms and conditions of the sale
• Seller's availability and cooperation in showing the home
  

The Listing and Selling Process

Once you have decided to sell your home, you'll need to provide some information to the agent and become familiar with procedures for appointments and the receipt of offers.

• Locate your deed, current tax bill, and information pertaining to any liens on the property
• Locate any Homeowner's Association documents, if applicable
• Agree on terms and conditions of the Listing Agreement
• Fill out a property profile form for the Multiple List Service
• Complete a Disclosure/Disclaimer form, per Maryland law
• Complete a Lead Paint Disclosure form, per Federal law
