Get your home appraised and if you're planning on working with one, find a reputable real estate agent who knows the area well. They will help you determine a proper listing price that will encourage multiple offers. Tidy up your home, store personal things away in closets, thoroughly clean your house, and get a professional real estate photographer to take pictures for the listing. Your agent will prepare the listing using information you provide and will handle everything once your house goes on the market. Once you've received and chosen an offer, all parties will sign an agreement. On closing day, you will receive full payment and hand over the keys to your now-former home.
