The worksheet is designed to slow down a high-pressure decision. Fill it out with real estimates, keep unanswered questions visible and take the contract section to your own lawyer.
What is inside
One decision record instead of four different sales pitches.
The worksheet helps you compare routes on the facts that change the actual outcome.
- 1Your priorities: price, timing, certainty, condition, effort and privacy.
- 2Likely net proceeds: price less repairs, commission, carrying and closing costs.
- 3Work and risk: access, showings, financing, conditions and the chance of delay.
- 4Buyer checks: legal identity, role, funding, deposit and assignment wording.
- 5Your decision record: the route chosen, why it fits and what still needs proof.
Use it independently
The worksheet does not steer you toward a direct sale.
A successful market listing often produces the strongest price. The useful choice is the one that best balances likely net proceeds, work, timing and risk for your property—not the route with the loudest promise.
Keep independent advice
Use your own real estate lawyer before signing. If a lender, tax, court or enforcement deadline applies, contact the relevant institution and licensed advisers promptly.
