3. Set the list price of your home
Several factors, including market conditions and interest rates, will determine how much you can get for your home. In other words, home selling is part art, part science, part marketing, and part negotiation.

6. The art of settling
When you have a signed contract with the buyer for your home, you may feel as if you can breathe a sigh of relief. But before you can completely relax you need to get to the settlement table.

7. Plan your move
Some of the activities required to sell your home can actually help with the moving process. For example, by cleaning out closets, the basement, and the attic, you will have less to do once the home is under contract.

When you sell your property you should know your typical closing costs for a seller. The most important thing should be the bottom line figure you’ll walk away with after closing. What you walk away with is more important than your gross sales price.
Regardless of how much equity you have in your home, you should get an accurate net sheet (closing cost sheet showing your walk away figure) up front so that you can be prepared to make a decision quickly on any offer presented. Do you like negotiating blindly? I didn’t think so,
GET A NET SHEET!
Without knowing the typical closing costs involved for a seller, how can you determine what an acceptable sales price is for your property?
One of the first things you should do before you put your home on the market is to ask your agent to prepare a net sheet. A net sheet should give you accurate information on the NET number you will walk away with after all typical closing costs for a seller. This is the number you should be most concerned with. When you have a net sheet done up front, you are able to make a decision fast and know what to expect.
