When you decide to sell your property and engage a real estate agent to list it for you, you will be asked a series of questions about the property. Some are fairly basic and apply to property with or without a home on it; some are more specific to residential properties, others for commercial properties and so on. I thought a short list of these might be helpful if you are planning to put your property on the market.
Size of the property - how many acres or what portion of an acre? Your agent can also check this with the county Assessor's office information.
Are there any easements on the property or appurtenant to the property?
Are the property lines marked? The corners?
Water - is there a well? Dug or drilled? Sealed? Is there a storage tank? How many gallons does it hold? How many gallons per minute does the well produce? On this latter, a buyer will usually have a well test performed that will provide accurate information, but it's good if you have a general idea. How deep is the well? Really, this probably doesn't matter that much, but it's one of those questions buyer's like to ask.
If there's a home, how many square feet is it? What year was it built? Do you know who the builder was? Any upgrades/remodels? Then there are all the specific questions about the home - type of flooring, siding, roofing, etc.
If you have a septic system, when was it last pumped? This will likely be inspected by the buyer and knowing the last time it was pumped can give you a head's up that you might need to have it pumped prior to the close of the sale.
How do you heat the home? If it's propane, what do your typical bills look like? What about your average PG&E bills?
What type of internet access is available where your property is located? Is there cable or DSL or just dial-up and the option of a satellite dish?
This is by no means a comprehensive list of the questions your agent and prospective buyers will have, but it can help get you started thinking along those lines. And buyers can come up with some questions you and I have never thought of!
