General Guidelines for Renting and Selling Property

By Nathaniel Rhine

When Renting Property:

Do not agree to rent without a full and legally binding agreement between you and the “landlord” or realtor.

Verify the “landlord’s” identity before you hand over the money.

Make sure that the “landlord” owns the property.

Ask to see proper identification.

When Selling Property:

Compare your property with other properties on the market in your area, taking into account repairs or necessary work.

Be upfront and honest about work you have done to your property.

Only view/show your property to those who have made an appointment to view it.

In the near future I shall elaborate more on the above mentioned items. There are more details that should be known, however, as the title suggests, these are general guidelines.
