01 · Understand your position
Discuss your goals, desired timing, outstanding financing, and any constraints. Ask your attorney and tax advisor about matters that could affect the sale before the property is marketed.
02 · Review comparable properties
Look at relevant closed sales alongside competing listings. Layout, condition, floor, exposure, building policies, and carrying costs all affect comparisons. A marketing price is a strategy, not a guaranteed result.
03 · Prepare the property
Prioritize presentation that helps a buyer understand the home. Agree on photography, floor-plan verification, access, repairs, and any staging. Assemble accurate building information and disclosures.
04 · Launch and respond
Coordinate the listing, showings, and buyer feedback. Review engagement and competing inventory with your agent; revisit the plan when evidence supports a change.
05 · Evaluate the full offer
Consider financing, contingencies, timing, and the buyer’s ability to complete the transaction alongside price. Your attorney should review contract terms and advise on legal obligations.
06 · Coordinate through closing
Stay organized as attorneys, lenders, and building management complete their work. Confirm move-out arrangements, closing figures, and secure payment instructions with the appropriate professionals.
