When you choose a real estate agent to help sell your home, they will usually take on the bulk of the work regarding advertising, showing, and selling your home. However, if you want to get the best price for your home while selling it relatively quickly, it is important that you work with your real estate agent. Below are three ways that you should be involved in the sale of your home. 

Create a Visual Presentation 

Most people shopping for homes start their search online, and they are more likely to give attention to homes that have a thorough description as well as plenty of visual aides such as photos and videos. 

What Your Agent Should Do: 

Your agent should take professional grade photographs (or hire a photographer to do so) that showcase the unique qualities of your home and neighborhood. They should add these to their listing website in an appealing, timely fashion. 

What You Should Do: 

You should get a video camera and make a short video of your home. Include your favorite aspects of your home and neighborhood and share why it is a great place to live. This can help potential buyers feel more comfortable about how the home was cared for before they purchased it. 

Show Your House More Often 

Selling a home involves showing the home to the right buyers. However, setting up viewing appointments and making sure your home is always ready to show can be hard work. 

What Your Agent Should Do: 

Your agent should set up a lockbox for you, so they can show your home with short notice without disturbing your everyday activities. They should be willing to show potential customers your home at a variety of flexible hours. 

What You Should Do: 

You should make sure your home is always ready to show. Both the inside and the outside should be neat, clean, and depersonalized. 

Price Your Property Competitively

Selling your home involves pricing it competitively. If you price it too low, you will lose money. But if you price it too high, you may scare off potential buyers. 

What Your Agent Should Do: 

Thoroughly research selling trends in the neighborhood and be able to estimate the true value of your home. This is easiest to do if they have experience in your specific neighborhood. 

What You Should Do: 

Take your real estate agent's advice as opposed to demanding a higher or lower listing price. However, be sure to ask questions about why your agent is offering a certain listing price to make sure their goals align with yours.
