Private Seller

What can you do to prepare your house for showing? What small steps can be taken to increase your chances for a quick sale? Efforts to improve the appearance of your house can contribute greatly to its marketing success. Small efforts such as replacing defective light bulbs; repainting damaged trim areas around doors and windows; cleaning the carpets; and adding finishing touches such as fresh flowers can make all the difference.

How much deposit do you require?
Who will ask the buyers for the deposit? Who would check the buyer and the agreement?
At what point will you use a Lawyer?
How will you qualify the buyer financially?
Buyers today buy by comparing other homes, how would you discuss these with buyers?
