PROFESSIONAL TIP:
At the Professionals we know that when you’re selling, current market conditions are an important factor to consider. For instance, the value of your house may have increased dramatically since you bought it but keep in mind you’re likely to be buying into the same market, particularly if you’re planning to upgrade. Get advice from a Professionals agent on the best time to sell.
Professional Tip:
Regardless of whether this is your first or third time selling, it’s always best to enlist the help of experts. Along with an experienced Professionals agent, partner with a mortgage broker, lawyer and bank that’ll walk you through the whole process. This will save you the stress that comes from doing it on your own, and some money in the long run.

Arm yourself with knowledge about the housing market in your area, and regional and national trends. Searching online is a great place to start, along with talking with a Professionals agent who will know the area and have a great understanding of the market.

Remember to check out your best mortgage options, look at any current debts, and factor in moving costs.
