8 Steps to selling your home
   
4. Get the word out.
  Now that you’re ready to sell, your real estate agent will set up a marketing strategy specifically for your home.

There are many ways to get the word out, such as the internet (mls listing), website, and open houses.

 
     
5. Receive an offer.
  When you receive a written offer from a potential buyer, your real estate agent will first find out whether or not the individual is prequalified or preapproved to buy your home. If so, then you and your agent will review the proposed contract, taking care to understand what is required of both parties to execute the transaction.
   
  At this point, you have three options: accept the contract as is, accept it with changes (a counteroffer), or reject it. Remember: Once both parties have signed a written offer, the document becomes legally binding. If you have any questions or concerns, be certain to address them with your real estate agent right away.
