First, do you already have a credible buyer?
Think beyond a signed offer.
Include the tenant who asked for first refusal,
the neighbor who has mentioned the house twice, or the relative who is waiting
for a fair number.
A real possibility changes your order of operations.
Establish value in Module 1 before you advertise.
Then use the decision tree to decide whether you need public exposure or a
direct path to closing.
Second, what is your market doing now?
Module 1 will measure days on market, inventory,
sale-to-list ratio, and recent comparable sales.
For now, look at the homes around you.
Are good listings moving in days, weeks, or months?
A faster market gives you more room to learn during launch week.
A slower market demands tighter pricing,
stronger presentation, and more runway.
Arthur listed through a Canadian January.
The system works in a cold market, but the plan has to respect the conditions.
Third, how much runway do you have?
Set aside 15 to 25 focused hours for the first seven days.
After launch, reserve time each week for showings, follow-up, feedback
review, and offer handling.
Eight weeks or more gives you room to test and adjust.
Six weeks calls for a tighter plan.
Less than six weeks means you should arrange support now while you still have
a strong negotiating position.
This is the trade.
You contribute focused work and informed decisions.
The system helps you avoid paying a full listing side commission for jobs you
can run or supervise yourself.
Put those three answers beside your seller type.
That combination determines your route.
