Choose the operating model
Decide whether you want an agent to manage an agreed scope or whether you will manage the listing as the seller.
SELL WITH XA’AN
Two ways to bring your property to market.
Engage a listing agent for an agreed scope, or manage the sale yourself. Both paths require accurate property information, clear responsibilities, and the right professionals at the right time.
Recommended
List with an agent.
- Builds a pricing recommendation from the market evidence available for your property and location.
- Coordinates marketing, inquiries, and showings within the scope you agree on.
- Helps organize the transaction team and paperwork without replacing the notario, attorney, tax adviser, or other specialist.
- Explains their responsibilities, commission arrangement, and any service fees before you sign.
- You still approve the price, terms, property information, and final decisions.
Do it yourself
Manage the sale yourself.
- Set your own asking price, terms, marketing plan, and showing schedule.
- Manage inquiries and decide what information to share with prospective buyers.
- Coordinate pricing, marketing, screening, negotiation, and transaction paperwork yourself.
- Budget separately for the qualified professionals and services the transaction still requires.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Choose the path. Define the work.
Prepare the property facts
Gather the address, current photos, price thinking, property details, and the information needed to establish your relationship to the property.
Confirm the next milestone
For an agent-led sale, agree on scope, compensation, and timing in writing. For FSBO, submit the listing for review and keep its information current.
There is no universal sale timeline.
Property documentation, financing, due diligence, negotiations, and specialist availability all affect timing. Whichever route you choose, agree on the next milestone instead of relying on a blanket deadline.
AGENT-LED SALE
Choose the person before you choose the pitch.
Compare published profiles, active inventory, markets, and stated specialties. Contact the agent you choose, then confirm their services, representation terms, compensation, and expected milestones directly before signing an agreement.
