What to put on a real estate listing checklist.

Make your next real estate listing a successful one with these checklists.

Listing a new real estate property is a lot of work. With so many moving parts, listings can be a headache for most real estate agents. So here are two checklists to get your next listing off on the right foot.

Start a pre-listing and listing checklist.

Before you can start trying to sell the property, you have to prep the listing. Use this real estate listing checklist to get started:

• Prep for your listing appointment.
• Get to know the neighborhood.
• Sign a listing agreement.
• Confirm all the property details.
• Put your agency’s sign in the property’s yard.
• Prep the property for in-person or virtual showings.

Remember to copy and paste this list somewhere that’s easy to access. Use a PDF or Excel spreadsheet to keep track of progress.

Make a marketing checklist.

The last part of your real estate listing checklist PDF or spreadsheet should include advertising. This is how you get the word out and let buyers know there’s a new property available. Put these tasks on a separate marketing list:

• Take professional photos of the property’s exterior and interior.
• Film a virtual tour of the property.
• List the property online with real estate directories.
• Create, print, and distribute real estate brochures for the property.
• Reach out to potential buyers.
• Schedule showing appointments and open houses.
