• Check appliances for proper functioning. • Retrieve any held mail from your new postal worker. • Fill out a voter’s registration card. • Change the address on your driver’s license, or get a new one. • Register your vehicles. Would you like a professional’s help with all the items on this list? If you said “yes,” I can handle all the real estate transaction items I described in this chapter and the entire book. Here is what will happen after you contact us. We will come out, look at your home, and show you how we can do all of this for you. Best of all, it won’t cost you anything. In fact, many sellers actually make money hiring a real estate agent to sell their home. Is that true of every listing, every time? No, but that is the case more often than not. A skilled agent will likely sell your home for more money than you could sell it for on your own. As an added benefit, having a professional to take responsibility for the important steps along the way can save you an immeasurable amount of time and headaches!
POINTS TO REMEMBER:
• Arrive at your closing 10 minutes early. Cash sales close quickly. Sales requiring new loans often close in 45 minutes, depending on complications. Usually, the seller receives a check at the end. • Use the lists provided in this chapter to make sure you address all details of closing and moving. • If you find the sales and closing processes intimidating, contact the author for a free consultation.
