define your needs

It is important to set out in writing the reasons that are motivating you to sell your current home. If you have a growing family and you need more space, you may be under less pressure to get your house ready to sell than if you were moving to a new city due to career opportunity.

By determining your needs, your real estate agent will be able to apply his or her expert knowledge to your situation and set a realistic time frame for the process to proceed. This will help you to establish a time management path for selling your home.
