* Extensive researching of your local real estate to include but not limited to:
List and sale price of all houses in your area for the last 6 months
List price for all houses or property currently on the market
And the list price for all the houses or property in your area that we once on the market but did not sell.

* You will also need to come up with a marketing strategy
One thing to do would be to contact real estate agents by either calling or sending them a flyer with all the property information on it. Most buyers use an agent so contacting the ones within a 25-35 mile radius of you would be essential.

Advertising. How much time and money can you devote to advertising. Make calls to local newspapers and determine how much it is to place an as in the daily paper and the Sunday paper. Who will create your signs and flyers. Buyers expect a fact sheet when looking at houses. Where else can you put signs besides your front yard. How about at the end of the street?.
Calls? Can you make your self available almost anytime of day? Who will answer your calls a show your house? Tip: Try to show your house the same day the person calls.
* Confirm that the potential buyer has pre-qualified for a mortgage loan.
If the buyer is using cash be sure to confirm that they have all the necessary resources. If the purchase is contingent on the buyer selling their house, confirm that the buyer’s house is on the market and determine how long it has been on the market.
