Hello friends,
Selling a home is no small undertaking. You should be readily available for open houses and showings and to respond to buyers' questions and offers. Make sure that when you decide to put your house on the market, it's a good time for you personally and you will be available to devote a significant amount of time and energy to closing a deal. Timing in the real estate market is very important. There are ebbs and flows and figuring out when your home is most likely to sell is key if before you decide to put it on the market.

If you receive such an offer, make sure to read the contract properly. This is even more needed when doing such an offer. Just because you accept to pay the buyer's closing costs, it does not mean you have to pay for everything. Sure, you want to pay those items needed to get the deal through - that should be your main goal, but you can be creative and still have the deal go through.

Advanced saving tips

1. Get the selling price right

If the price isn't right, you'll be waiting a long time for a sale - during which prices could drop so that you actually lose money. As it is, the average selling time is about 8½ weeks, according to property website Hometrack. Whether your sale is "DIY" or through an agent, check the selling prices of similar properties in your area - the actual sale price, not the agent's advertised price, at landregistry.gov.uk and sites like upmystreet.co.uk can help.

2. Haggle with your agent over the commission

Get at least three estate agents to value your property and negotiate a commission with them: you should be aiming to pay a maximum of 1% of the value of the property. And don't just pick the one offering the highest valuation - it might well be a tactic to reel you in, and therefore unrealistic. Overvalued properties are a big turn-off for buyers. Online estate agents charge lower commission rates, such as halfapercent.com, which typically charges an upfront fee of £199 plus 0.5% commission on completion, and hatched.co.uk, which charges £398 for its most popular service.

3. And take care over the agent's contract

Find out whether you have the right to cancel this, and check how long it will run. It should allow a reasonable length of time to market your property and find potential buyers. But beware of contracts that tie you to one estate agent for too long a period. If you are unsure, get advice from a solicitor or your local Citizens Advice Bureau before you sign.

Also, hedge your bets. If you sign a sole agency agreement with an estate agent and then sell privately, you won't owe the agent commission. Sole agency means that your estate agent is entitled to commission only if it introduces your buyer and brings about the sale of your property, or if another estate agent sells the house during the period of sole agency. It doesn't apply if you sell the property yourself, either using newspaper advertising or online advertising - although there might be a grey area regarding online agents.

4. Sell your house privately
There's a growing army of websites that cater for private sellers, including houseweb.co.uk, mypropertyforsale.co.uk and thelittlehousecompany.co.uk, all of which charge a fee to list your property with a photo. Or you could try the no-frills listings site gumtree.com, where there is no fee. The main drawback of the private sale is that you need to organise all the viewings - and be a hard-nosed negotiator, too.

5. Do your own Home Information Pack

Whether you are doing the sale on your own or with the help of an agent, you'll need to compile a Home Information Pack, which can cost £350 or more. It may be cheaper putting together your own than using a professional, but it must be done properly and include terms of the sale, title deeds (download these from landregistry.gov.uk for about £15), replies to certain queries, details of planning permission, a detailed report on the energy efficiency of your home (£150), water and drainage check (£40).

However, estate agents may offer to cover the cost - so long as the property is eventually sold by them. If it is later sold by you privately or through another agent, expect a bill in the post. And be aware that some agents might refuse to accept a HIP that you have prepared yourself.
