Ownership, seller authority, taxes, HOA status, permits and property specifications should be organized before marketing claims are made.

Independent legal and tax advice is particularly important when ownership structure, residency or capital-gains treatment may affect the transaction.

A serious offer should be reviewed for price, currency, funding, deposit, contingencies, timeline and evidence of capacity—not price alone.

Clear communication and a shared closing calendar help keep advisor, buyer, seller, notary and counsel aligned.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

What should be ready before listing?

Ownership documents, taxes, HOA status, accurate measurements, property condition and a clear decision about included furnishings.

Should I accept the highest offer?

Not automatically. Funding certainty, contingencies, deposit and timing can make a lower offer more executable.

Who calculates seller taxes?

The appropriate notarial and tax professionals should calculate the transaction-specific treatment; obtain advice before committing net proceeds.
