Insights, tips & how-to guides on selling property and 
preparing your home or investment property for sale and 
working to maximize your sale price. 
1. Choose the right estate agent : 
Ask at least three agents to assess your home and

recently. Speak to some of their past clients, or do your own 
mystery shopping and view the properties they sell. 
Trainings by Vidya Bhagwat

Find the best-quality brochure for a house in your 
price range and area, then show it to your agent. Insist on 
something just as good. The sales details should include a 
floor plan, a description of each room and a critique of the 
neighborhood. These brochures should be ready before the 
first person views your property. 
3 .Make your home easy to see 
“Nothing is more frustrating than an agent saying 'a 
viewing doesn’t suit the vendor’,” says Nicola Oddy of Stacks 
Property Search, a buying agency. “If your agent can’t 
supervise the viewing, do it yourself. Be flexible about timing 
even if it’s inconvenient.

for you, so a deal moves as quickly as possible. And arrange

Tips for Renting out your Property : 
1. Understand The Responsibility Involved : 
First, you must determine whether being a 
landlord is an obligation you can even handle. The benefits of 
renting are numerous, such as the ability to deter the 
vandalism that often plagues an empty home, the ease of tax 
breaks and the ability to generate income that covers the 
bills and possibly even creates a profit. 
2. Prepare Your Home : 
In a down market, you won't be able to get away 
with renting out the home as is. Tenants are more attentive 
and choosy in a down market because of the increased 
Trainings by Vidya Bhagwat 
availability rental homes, and their expectations are much 
higher.
Trainings by Vidya Bhagwat 
3. Hire Professionals : 
Renting out your home may seem like a simple task, but 
it's important to talk with attorneys and other professionals to 
make sure you are abiding by tax laws and local property rules 
as a result of the new status. 
4. Set A Competitive Price: 
Set the cost of the rent by learning what other rental 
properties are going for in your neighborhood and 
community. Remember, potential tenants will be scouting 
around for deals, so set the rent at a competitive price and 
make sure you highlight all the most valuable aspects of your 
home.
