Real Estate tgt Eileen M. Day REALTOR INFORMATION, PLEASE When selling your home with an agent, there is one basic caveat: Don't hide anything, especially a defect in the condi tion of your property. Failure to do so can create all sorts of in teresting situations - none of them good. Your agent will need infer mation about taxes, heating costs, age of the house, insula tion, plumbing and waste dis posal, wiring capacity, room sizes, and warranties on appli ances. Buyers may assume that you will leave any personal properly that is affixed to the house like chandeliers, wall-towall carpeting, draperies, and appliances. If you plan to take such items with you, inform your agent. This can help pre vent misunderstandings with buyers that could affect a closing.

Communication works both ways. Your agent should regularly report the progress of his or her marketing efforts. Keeping lines of communications open will help maintain a strong working relationship and a more effective sales ef fort.
