Is it your first time to sell a property? Or do you want a refresher guide on how you successfully closed the deal before? Either way, this complete and comprehensive guide and checklist summarize everything that you need to know before, during, and after selling your property. rnBefore Selling the Propertyrn• Clean the house and remove all the clutter and messrnBefore you decide to sell your house, cleaning it to remove all the mess and clutter is a great idea. It helps you remove the things that are totally worthless and keep the stuff that you might want to bring when you moved to a new place. A well- cleaned house is a better site to see, rather than seeing a house filled with unnecessary clutter. After cleaning the house, you can also check it and determine the aspects that need minor repair (i.e. electric wirings, water pipes, etc.). • Take high- quality photographsrnGrab your camera and make your property the model. On the other hand, if you want to achieve professional looking photos, you can hire a property photographer to do the job. A high- resolution photo can catch more attention than a pixilated one. Make sure that the photos can clearly represent the appearance of the house. • Post an advertisement in prelist.orgrnBefore the advent of prelist.org, sellers have to pay for an advertisement space in a newspaper. However, if you will use prelist.org, you can post your advertisement for free. Prelist.org is a website or platform that is accessible for everyone. Sellers use prelist.org to list property for free Canada. Make sure that your advertisement is filled with necessary information. rnDuring the Selling processrn• Reply to queries of prospect buyersrnAs a seller, you must be responsible in replying to the queries and questions of prospect buyers. Make sure that you can elaborately describe the property and the advantage of purchasing it. In addition, you must be able to reply to the prospect buyer’s queries as soon as possible. To aid with this, your advertisement must contain an active contact number or email so that it will easier for the buyer to contact and reach you. • Offer incentives if possiblernThe buyer will surely love and appreciate if you can give an incentive. You can offer an additional discount if possible. Or you can settle for minor renovations without asking for additional charges. For sure, your buyer will appreciate your effort to provide ease and convenience on their part. On the other hand, if you can’t give an incentive, explain the reason behind and be honest if you can’t really give. • Grab the best dealrnWhen it comes to selling a real estate property, you shouldn’t settle for less than what you deserve. Wait for the best deal and grab it as soon as you can. rnAfter Selling the Propertyrn• Secure the documentsrnNo matter how smooth or tedious the transaction was, make sure that you will secure all the documents (i.e. land titles, deed of sale, etc). Avoid any illegal transaction no matter who your buyers are. As much as possible, contact the legal personnel in your area to make everything according to your county’s laws and regulation.

Just a quiet, unshakable sense that you’re in a place built to protect. That feeling isn’t random. It’s the result of smart choices—ones made long before anyone steps inside. The materials, the design, the way everything is built to handle the unexpected, even factors like fire ratings that determine
