A useful conversation before a sales decision

You can begin with the facts you have and the questions that matter most. Missing information should be identified clearly instead of replaced with assumptions.

A balanced view of your options

An agent-assisted listing may provide broad market exposure. Selling on your own offers direct control while shifting more work to you. A direct sale may reduce preparation and showing work. The right fit depends on the property, available time, desired effort, and written terms.

Confirm who is involved

Ask whether each person is the buyer, an employee, a representative, or a third-party professional. Confirm the actual buyer and every important term in writing before making a decision.

Questions are part of the process

Ask who is involved, what information is needed, what could change, and which terms are binding. Use independent professional advice whenever a decision depends on legal rights, taxes, financing, title, insurance, or property condition.
