2. Find a REALTOR - In the maze of forms, financing, inspections, marketing, pricing, and negotiating, it make sense to work with professionals who know the community and much more. Those professionals are the local Realtors who serve your area.

3. Set the list price - 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. 

4. Market your house for maximum exposure - Your Realtor should share a marketing plan with you, but the more you know about the process of selling your home the easier it is to support Realtor's efforts. Make your home sell fast with test tips. 

5. Negotiate a real estate offer - Perhaps the most complex moment in the sales process comes when you get an offer for your home. Whether you have one offer or several to consider, these tips and the partnership with your Realtor will help you navigate the entire process.
