It is important to set out in writing the reasons that are motivating you to sell your current home. You might ask yourself, "Why am I selling my home and what do I expect to accomplish?" If you have a growing family and you need more space you may be under less pressure to get your house ready to sell than if you were, let's say, moving to a new city due to a career opportunity. Explore your short and long term goals and decide how selling your house fits into those goals. Doing this will help you to establish a time management path for selling your home.
