• Choose a real estate agent who communicates clearly and frequently, keeping you up to speed on every step of the process.
• Price your home accurately for market conditions. Homes that sell quickly leave their sellers wondering if they'd priced it too low while sellers whose homes sit on the market unsold wonder if they'll ever find buyers.
• Decide whether you want to move yourself or have professional movers handle the job. If you hire a moving company, make sure to book well in advance.
• Think about cleaning services. This is a great time to have someone come in and clean after everything is packed and moved.
• Arrange to have utilities and phone service disconnected at your old house and reconnected in your new home at least 2 weeks in advance.
