Here's a quick look at the steps you'll take when selling a home with RealtySouth:

1. Contact an RealtySouth Sales Associate to list your home. He or she will be able to expertly assess its current value so your return will be optimized.

2. Fix and clean up those items or areas that need improvement to maximize your home's exterior curb appeal and interior charm
.

3. Get your home warranty up front. By providing an initial warranty with RealtySouth's Warranty program, the buyer can feel confident and worry-free about buying your home-and you selling it.

4. You and your Sales Associate will work together to consider - and then negotiate with potential buyers - purchase offers on your home. Once an offer is accepted, you will both work with the buyer's agent to schedule a closing date and time.

5. Notify your phone company, utilities (don't forget water and sewer), moving company, post office, newspaper and magazines, friends and family. Check out our Utility Directory of service providers to help you with this process.

6. Pack and move!
