Choosing your agent - All agents are not the same. Different characteristics are important to each person, but knowledge, enthusiasm, marketing savvy, and negotiation skills will make the difference in the sale of your property, so choose wisely. Listen to what the agent tells you about pricing your property and how the home will be marketed. Also, ask the agent about any additional certifications and classes they have taken to increase their knowledge of the business. This ability to continue to become more knowledgeable in the field will be of benefit to you.
Internet marketing can play a major role in attracting buyers to a property.
Web exposure opens your property to inspection by millions of potential buyers. No other form of advertising reaches a larger market than the Internet. But keep in mind that you have enjoyed the tax benefits of depreciation, capital improvements, etc., during your ownership. Review your cost basis, adjusted basis, realized versus recognized gain and any deferments that you might be entitled to. With years of experience, I can likely tell you which improvements will be most beneficial.
