Selling My Crofton Home – Step One (Explore My Options)
August 31st, 2009 Categories: Real Estate

Selling My Crofton Home – How do I begin?
“Should I rent, sell or stay in my Crofton home?” That’s a frequently asked question for any potential home seller in today’s market. That’s why Step One in this series is this:
EXPLORE MY OPTIONS
A job transfer, financial hardship, expanding or shrinking family… these no longer automatically trigger a home sale for Crofton residents, or any homeowner across the region – not in a buyer’s market. Some folks do have options:
- RENT – What are the pros and cons of renting my home instead of selling it? What would my responsibilities be as a landlord?
- SELL – What is the likely selling price? How long will it take to sell?How much will it cost to sell? Should I go it alone or hire an agent?
- STAY – Should I just stay in this home until the market gets better?
No single option is right for everyone because each home and situation is unique. Free information and advice online is abundant, but it may NOT be relevant for me.

Now let me pause to take off my Crofton resident hat and put on my Crofton REALTOR hat, because this is my cue to suggest you consult with a REALTOR.
Be honest when you contact me or another REALTOR and explain that you’re exploring options… that you want the agent’s analysis and recommendations regarding market conditions for selling, renting or waiting. This is not an appointment for choosing an agent – that comes later and only IF you decide to sell your Crofton home.
Step One is simply exploring your options so you can make an informed decision whether to rent, sell or stay at this time. If you decide to sell, watch for Selling My Crofton Home – Step Two (FSBO vs. REALTOR) – coming soon to Focus On Crofton.
