whether it be a quick sale, high price, or somewhere in the middle.

property and fix up it's weaknesses. You want the buyer to walk away
from your home with a lasting good impression.

sure that your agent is loyal to you, and can negotiate to help you
achieve your goals. In addition, they should be assertive and honest
with both you and the buyer.

situation; what are their motives? Can you demand a big deposit from

disclosures; you do not want to lose the deal because you were lying or
diminishing your home's defects. Insist the buyers get a professional
inspection. This will protect both you and the buyer.
