Your situation
Start with the pressure you need to solve.
You may have more than one workable route. The first step is getting the facts in the right order.
Expired listing
Review why the property did not sell before choosing the next route.
02For sale by owner
Compare buyers, terms, net proceeds, and the ability to close.
03Inherited house
Start with authority, title, estate status and condition, along with family timing.
04Payment problems
Organize notices, payoff figures, deadlines and equity before estimating possible sale timing.
05Major repairs
Compare repairing and listing with selling the house in its current condition.
06Tenants or rental property
Account for leases, deposits, rent, notices and access, along with possession.
07Divorce or separation
Keep the property review focused on title and debt, along with authority and timing.
08Relocation
Coordinate the sale, move date and possession while tracking overlapping costs.
09Vacant house
Reduce carrying cost and risk while choosing a repair, rental, or sale plan.
Avoid signing under pressure
Ask for the important terms in writing. Verify who is buying, how title will transfer, who pays which costs, and what happens if a future payment or purchase does not occur. Get independent professional advice when the structure is unfamiliar.
