House For SaleDepending on your talents, you may want to market the house for sale with or without a real estate agent. This is a part of your plan from the beginning. So if you plan to list the house with an agent, get them over to see and list the property. Plan an open house. Advertise with signs. Do what ever you plan to do to sell the house.If you are selling without an agent, make sure you have a title company lined up for the closing. Make sure you have several buy-sell agreements which are approved by the real estate officials for your county. Prepare a flyer, get the house listed on the internet, and prepare for a wait until the proper buyer comes along.Contact the bank where you have the mortgage. Tell them the house is ready for sale. Have them come over and look at it.Have your insurance agent look over the property to adjust the insured value.Make a video of the house, both inside and outside, for record keeping purposes. Make a few copies which you can send out to out of town prospective buyers.Make calls to get the house noticed. Tell your friends. Ask for help from any one and everyone to get the house sold.Tack up flyers everywhere there is a public bulletin board. Pay for an ad now and then in advertising magazines for houses.Click HERE to read through the 2006 IRS details about not having to pay Capital Gains Tax on a house you lived in for two years or more.
