This will be my first time selling a house, and first time with a realtor. What should I expect from this meeting?The realtor sets up an appointment for potential buyers to see the house, should the seller be present to answer any questions? What happens when you meet with a potential listing agent? We discuss what an initial consultation looks like, and how you can best prepare. The initial consultation will take about an hour and when i get to the home we're going to sit down and talk for five minutes. A Realtor® will help you every step of the way. Here are seven steps for how to sell your home with a Realtor® to reach your homeselling goals. Also called "settlement". My wife and I worked with Sheryl Florio for our first home purchase and our first home sale.
