Pre-Marketing Checklist
Preparing Your Property to Sell
We can't stress enough how important it is to get your property in its best possible condition prior to offering it for sale. Everyone wants to sell their home in the least amount of time at the best possible price, right?
The simple truth is that homes with great curb appeal and homes that are super clean, well maintained, and have pleasing decor sell faster and for more money than homes that don't measure up. It doesn't need to cost you a boatload of money . . . just work your way through this checklist to be certain you are presenting your home in its best possible light.

What steps should you take? Here's a simple list to get you started.
Are You Facing A Short Sale?
If you're thinking of selling your home, and you expect that the total amount you owe on your mortgage will be greater than the selling price of your home, you may be facing a short sale. A short sale is one where the net proceeds from the sale won't cover your total mortgage obligation and closing costs, and you don't have other sources of money to cover the deficiency. A short sale is different from a foreclosure, which is when your lender takes title of your home through a lengthy legal process and then sells it.
