As a first time home buyer it is important to vet your agent. How long have they been in the business and what is their reputation. I suggest checking their online reviews and experience. Once you find the "right" agent to guide you through the process, I suggest signing a 1 month exclusive agrement. If you are happy with their service then extend the agreement.I hope this is helpful TT

Hi Charity, Keep in mind everything is negotiable. You are selling "Your" home. Just be sure to note anything that is not included in your sale on the listing. You may even offer to replace with new plantings.

Hi Jailene, When considering selling your home, I like to suggest you act as a "buyer". Search homes for sale similar to yours. Go to open houses and compare your home to others on the market. Most importantly, research local realtors. Find the realtors offering the most professional marketing with the best online review. Choose one or two who can provide you with a complimentary Comparable Market Analysis (CMA). You are under no obligation to list and will have a comprehensive snapshot of valuation.
