Work out the walk-away number
Commission, marketing, legal fees, staging, repairs, and mortgage discharge can materially change what you keep.

Ask what the strategy is
A good agent should explain pricing, launch timing, buyer targeting, open-home plan, and negotiation approach.
4
Know what you are signing
Understand sole agency terms, marketing costs, cancellation conditions, commission structure, and any extra fees.
5
Decide what must happen before launch
Small presentation choices can matter. Be clear on what is worth doing and what is just expensive theatre.
