                      You
                            have life—a personal one and a professional
                            one. Your agent will let you live both of
                            them, alleviating any undue stress or concern about
                            the home sale by acting as your partner in the complex
                            real estate transaction. Some examples of what an
                            agent should do for you as a seller: 
                     
                    
                      - 
                        
Screen
                            potential buyers, making sure they are serious inquiries
                            and not potential “busy bodies.”  
                       
                      - 
                        
 Handle
                            those “pesky” phone calls, schedule appointments
                            and show your house at times that meet your schedule,
                            not theirs. 
                       
                      - 
                        
Ensure
                            the buyer has the annual income and employment history
                            necessary and down payment and closing cost money
                            to finance and buy your home. And, make certain the
                            buyer provides you with enough time to select—and
                            move into—your next residence. 
                       
                      - 
                        
Discuss
                            and make recommendations regarding any contingency
                            on the sale of your home. A contingency is a condition
                            on the sale put into the contract by either the buyer
                            or seller. Contingencies can be removed by an addendum
                            to the contract, or they can expire if a time limit
                            is specified in the contract. 
                       
                      - Accept,
                          on your behalf and with your consent, all offers and
                          counter-offers and contracts made in writing. He/she
                          will recommend if you should accept the offer or make
                          a counter proposal. The agent will help guide the process
                          so acceptable terms are reached for all parties involved. 
 
                      - Be
                          there for you up until the parties involved sign on
                          the dotted line and transfer of ownership of your house
                          to the buyer is completed.
