Selling Your House With Me-Part 1

You want to sell your house!
You want:
1) to sell your house for the best price with no complications.
2) to deal with a Realtor who is experienced and knowledgeable and who you can trust.
Selling your house is a complex transaction. Complications and stress are a part of every home sale. Anyone who promises you no stress during the sale and escrow process, and no difficult decisions, is selling you hope over experience.
The way to avoid as many complications as possible and reduce stress is:
1) plan the process carefully with your Realtor and be aware not only of your needs, but also your obligations. Try to look at the house as a buyer would see it, not as your home. (This is actually difficult)
2) Choose a Realtor who can help you handle the complications and the unexpected twists and turns that may occur, especially during escrow. A Realtor doesn't earn their fee by finding a buyer, but by guiding the deal to actually close escrow.
3) Have realistic goals and be flexible in problem solving. Understand that the buyer is looking at the transaction from a completely different perspective and their actions and decisions may make no sense to you. A buyer's motivations may be clear, but it is possible there are factors at work of which you have no knowledge.
