What happens when you meet with a potential listing agent? We discuss what an initial consultation looks like, and how you can best prepare.Here's what to know before your first meeting with a Realtor to sell your house. Be prepared with the right questions and stay open-minded. What should I expect from this meeting? What is usually discussed, what should I bring up? You could go to a real estate lawyer and pay him hourly to do the paperwork. 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. Without a Realtor to walk you through the process, you'll need a thorough understanding of what's legally required of you as a seller. A partition action enables you to force the sale of property when coowners are refusing to sell.
