01
Identify the buyer’s true alternatives
Separate detached and attached houses from apartments when reviewing comparable sales. Note parking, outdoor space, layout, and renovations where relevant. Review active inventory as well as closed transactions so the asking price reflects what buyers can see now.
02
Collect the details behind the listing
Prepare available tax and utility information, major-system history, and records of renovations. For a co-op or condo, add building policies and sale requirements. For a house, verify any changes or use you intend to advertise with appropriate records.
03
Coordinate the sale with your move
If you are purchasing another home, decide how much flexibility you need before setting a launch date. Plan photography, showing windows, and an agreed time to review the response to your asking price. Your attorney can advise on contract-specific timing.
