Selling your home is one of the most significant business and personal decisions you will make. For most people, their home is the biggest investment they have. When you sell your home, you need the best help a real estate professional can provide to get you the highest price in the shortest amount of time with the fewest hassles.

“The old adage about making yourself an educated consumer applies in spades to the selling of your home,” said Keith Conlon, president of sales at Allie Beth Allman & Associates.

Allie Beth Allman & Associates, a top broker in many Dallas and Fort Worth neighborhoods, suggests you ask the following questions to help you navigate the selling of your home.

• What are the agent’s credentials? What support does the agent’s firm provide?

• How many homes did the agent and the firm sell last year? In what price range?

• Does the agent specialize in your neighborhood? Good agents also sell the schools, local parks and playgrounds and the commute.

• What should your house sell for? A home priced too high will sit on the market, turning off potential buyers. A home priced too low may start a bidding war in a hot market like North Texas is, but it could also net the owner less money. Ask what nearby homes have sold for and how long it took to make those sales.

• What is the agent’s marketing plan for selling your home?

• What will it cost to sell your home? Sellers pay standard commissions for selling a home, which include the fees charged by the agents for the seller and buyer.

• How long will selling your home take? No agent can guarantee how quickly a house will sell, but an analysis of comparable homes in the neighborhood should give a good indication.

• What does your agent think you should do to get your house ready to sell? Experienced agents know what buyers want to see and may suggest decluttering your home and painting and repairing some rooms or the exterior. Others may want to stage your home to make it more inviting.

• How will you and your agent communicate? Discuss the preferred methods of communicating, knowing that speed and availability are often critical to making a sale.

• Do you need to be at open houses? Most agents prefer that owners not be there.
