It’s almost impossible to think of everything I know I’ve done on a regular basis. While I’d like to respond, it’s best for me to let you take look at part of a list on how Pat Vredevoogd-Combs told the House Financial Services Committee on Housing & provide the following list.
Pre-Listing Activities
- Make appointment with seller for listing presentation
- Send seller a written or e-mail confirmation of listing appointment & call to confirm
- Review pre-appointment questions
- Research all comparable currently listed properties
- Research sales activity for past 18 months from MLS & public records databases
- Research “Average Days on Market” for property of this type, price range & location
- Download & review property tax roll information
- Prepare “Comparable Market Analysis” (CMA) to establish fair market value
- Obtain copy of subdivision plat/complex lay-out
- Research property’s ownership & deed type
- Research property’s public record information for lot size & dimensions
- Research & verify legal description
- Research property’s land use coding & deed restrictions
- Research property’s current use & zoning
- Verify legal names of owner(s) in county’s public property records
- Prepare listing presentation package with above materials
- Perform exterior “Curb Appeal Assessment” of subject property
- Compile & assemble formal file on property
