Real Estate Transaction Checklist: Pre-listing Template

More real-estate templates

For each property that a real estate agent engages to sell there are hundreds of small but very important details and tasks that must be done. Omitting one of these can cause problems and keep a sale from going through at the last minute. Because of this, it is good practice for realtors to follow a very precise transaction checklist template, like the one below, to feel confident that, whether selling two or twenty houses, they are not forgetting anything. This practice also prevents needing to re-invent the wheel and write down the planned process for each new property.
