Are you getting ready to put up the "For Sale" sign?  You've got some work to do.  Don't worry, you're not alone. 

1) Do you have a real estate agent?

Your agent can help you set a fair price for your home based upon the following:
- market conditions
- the home's location
- what the home has to offer
- the competition

You may have put a lot of dollars and sweat into beautifying your home.  Will you get a return in investment for it?  Your agent can offer an objective opinion.  Your agent also knows what buyers are looking for, even that crack in the wall or the creaky steps you might not have previously noticed.  These slight imperfections will stand out - and your agent's discerning eye can help.

At the end of the day - what are you hoping to achieve?  Are you hoping for a quick sale, or do you wish to maximize the return on your investment?  Ask your agent to advise you on how to best achieve your goals.

2) Do you have a Real Estate lawyer?

A good real estate lawyer can ensure your sale transaction ends smoothly.  Some of the key tasks the lawyer will do include:
- work with the Purchaser's lawyer to transfer the title of the property to the new owners
- work with the appropriate parties to distribute the proceeds of the property
- ensure that that your previous mortgage(s) are discharged


Selling your home is an important life event, especially if you have already purchased one.  You will have decisions to make that may have legal impact and just as many questions that need answering.  We can help.  Our goal is to ensure that your transaction proceeds smoothly.
