01
Choose the right type of comparable
A co-op, condo, attached house, and detached house appeal to different buyers and carry different ownership costs. Start with relevant closed sales nearby, then study today’s competing listings. Explain differences in monthly costs, condition, space, and legal use.
02
Prepare questions before they become delays
Gather available floor plans, tax information, improvement records, and building documents when applicable. For co-ops and condos, understand building rules and required sale materials. For houses, verify any advertised unit count or altered space.
03
Treat the neighborhood as part of the strategy
A practical listing plan should describe what makes the location useful without promising commute times, school outcomes, or future appreciation. Give buyers accurate context and let the property evidence support the asking price.
