Do you have a 3 bedroom home, but you tax records show you only have a 2 bedroom?

Be strategic when pricing your home for sale

Sometimes, it's better to price your home a hair below market value.
.
This will make buyers think "WOW, what a great deal".
.
You will get tons of showings and drive up the competition. Play those offers against each other. Multiple offers leads to more money for you.

Your agent could be the deciding factor when you are in a multiple offer situation

If your offer is identical to another buyers offer, there is still one thing that separates the two of you. 
-
It's the real estate agents who are involved in the transaction.
-
The listing agent is going to recommend the agent that he knows and trusts will do a good job.
-
Will your agent be on the winning side?

Who pays for the appraisal? Buyer or seller?

A couple of years ago, almost all appraisals were coming in low.

That means if a agreed upon purchase price for a home was $1 Million, the appraisal would come in at $950K.

This caused many escrows to be canceled.

Now, appraisers are much better. Thankfully there have been less appraisal problems as lenders have slightly loosened their lending restrictions.
