Hints for Buying and Selling*
There is a range of steps to consider when you're preparing to buy or sell a house. Renee Funk, president of The Relocation Company, an independent firm that manages home sales, offers some thoughts:

1. Select a REALTOR® experienced in and knowledgeable about the area
to do an analysis of the property.

2. Review several market analyses to determine the listing price.

3. Make sure your agent has a specific marketing program and performs
in a timely way.

4. If you are selling, pay heed to special problems the agent might indicate,
such as whether the house needs work, is too cluttered or too pristine.

5. If you are buying, make sure the agent understands your needs, and is
acting to meet them.

6. Don't feel overwhelmed. Break the process into steps, and take them
one at a time.

7. Look at this as a business transaction. If selling, remember that your home is an asset, no matter how many happy years you spent in it. Look at it objectively.
