7. Goals and Expectations:

• Clarify your goals and expectations for the sale. Are you looking for a quick sale, the highest possible price, or a specific timeline?

9. Preferred Communication Methods:

• Decide how you prefer to communicate with your realtor (phone, email, text) and be prepared to discuss this during the meeting.

10. Access and Availability:

• Let your realtor know your availability for showings and meetings, as well as any restrictions or preferences you have for when potential buyers can view your home.

11. Personal Information:

• Be prepared to provide your contact information, including phone number, email address, and current mailing address.

12. Decision-Making Process:

• If you're co-owning the property or have other decision-makers involved, discuss and establish a decision-making process for accepting offers and making decisions related to the sale.

13. Legal and Financial Advisors:

• Inform your realtor if you have legal or financial advisors in your decision-making process. Their input may be valuable during the sale.

By preparing these items in advance, you'll be well-equipped to have a productive and informative meeting with your realtor. It will also help the realtor understand your needs and preferences, allowing them to provide more tailored guidance and recommendations.
