Select an agent who has been specifically trained to assist senior homeowners with all the tasks that lead to a successful sale — for the right price, in the time frame you select and with a minimum of inconvenience.

Once a decision is made to sell, the time frame is dependent upon numerous market factors like your asking price, the time of year, mortgage interest rates available for buyers,condition of your home, local competition, and your location. A skilled agent will discuss these factors with you and offer options to maximize your sales position.

Preparing your home for sale requires the input of a sales professional. Some fix-ups pay dividends in the form of a better sale price or quicker sale. But, there may be others that are not necessary or too expensive. Each home is unique and a personalized assessment is a must before you put your home on the market.

Most likely you will be downsizing to make your move. So, thinking ahead to your new home will give you some idea of what you can and would like to take with you. Some thoughts about other items: share with family and friends; sell at a yard sate or consignment shop or donate some to your church or local organization.

Your sales agent will prepare a detailed calculation for your specific home and situation. There are some usual and customary costs like title insurance, state transfer fees, real estate broker's fee and some closing costs. All costs will be fully explained and put in writing for you.

Your specialist is familiar with the entire home selling & buying process and can assist you every step of the way. They will provide you with all the details that surround a sale and take care of them for you if you decide. They have access to services that you may require or request as the sales process moves along.

From the decision to sell to the final move out, you will be in control. Your Senior Specialist will be available to answer all of your questions, offer options and give advise if you wish.
