If you have decided to sell your townhouse you no doubt will want to sell it as quickly as possible.

The first step to take is to determine the fair market value of the property. For this you'll want to order your own home appraisal. Once you've got an appraisal then select a real estate agent with experience in selling townhomes. Ask the real estate agent the value of the townhome. If you get an answer wildly different from the appraisal you ordered, then it may be time to keep looking and find a different agent.

If the real estate agent gives you a price that is in line with your appraisal then ask the agent for a checklist of things you should do to prepare your townhome for sale. Follow the checklist and do everything recommended. This will make your townhome present as favorably as it can.
