In the next few entries we will go over a handy checklist we found at HGTV's "Front Door" Website.
Gauging your need to sell
- Define your goals for the next 5-10 years.
- Weigh the pros and cons of selling.
- Figure out if you can afford to sell, move and buy a new home.
- Calculate your home equity.
- Research the local housing market.
- Consider remodeling the home to fit your needs.
- Weigh the pros and cons of renting out your home.
Do this with the help of a professional REALTOR and you will have a realistic picture before you make a move. A REALTOR will be happy to offer help,
even if you decide against selling right away. Agents work hard to develop a relationship with you so that when you
are ready they will be the expert you call on to list and market your home.
