Unparalleled Trust Necessary Before Listing Your House | Keeping Current Matters

1. Selling is possibly the largest asset your family own in your portfollio

2. Set the correct market value on that asset

4. Set a fair fee for the services required to liquidate that asset

You will need to pay a commission to an agent for selling the home and coordinating all elements of the selling transaction, including possible future negotiations (ex. with a home inspector or appraiser).
