Selling a house can be a very involved process. By keeping track of your progress with this checklist, you can eliminate many of the pitfalls, time delays and aggravations that can erupt at any time during the house selling period.

• Be an informed seller. Gather as much information as you can to increase your effectiveness.
• Decide whether it is to your advantage to sell your house with and Agent or on your own.
• Familiarize yourself with how to price your house. Pulling a price "out of the air" is almost never successful. If you would like comparable sales prices in your neighborhood, contact a local member of the Multiple Listing Service.
• Know what you can and cannot change about your house. This allows you to concentrate on those items that bring the highest rewards.
• Spend time on the house preparation phase-it will probably be the most productive time you can spend!
• For tax purposes, develop a record of all home improvements made to your house.
• Decide whether or not to do a pre-listing house inspection.
• Have a yard sale before you list. Sell, donate, or trash everything you don't need.
• Decide whether you want to offer a Home Warranty with your house.
• Get familiar with financing options. Be at least as knowledgeable as your buyers.
• Develop an effective advertising and marketing plan on your own or discuss it with your Agent.
