In order to get the best price and sell your property, you will need to find a good estate agent who will do their best to get you the highest selling price. There are a few things you need to know to help you along:

- To get the true value of your property, have it valued by at least 3 estate agents to give a general overview of the price value.

- Organisations like the Ombudsman, or National Association of Estate Agents use only trained estate agents, so rest assured they should be very professional in their field, and abide by a strict code of conduct.

Check how long the contract is for; making sure it’s not longer than eight weeks. Beware of the notice period which is a short contract lasting for two weeks. Ask about what the charges will cover and what details will be going into the marketing plan, and how they are intending to advertise your property.

Within the contract there are some important points to remember, as well as the terms of the contract.

- ‘Ready, willing and able purchaser’ Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! If you decide to withdraw at a later date for whatever reason and the agent finds a buyer at the same time, you must still pay the agent.

- ‘Multi-agency’ means that even though you can use two agents to maximise sale potential to advertise to more buyers, the agent who actually makes the sale is the only one to get the commission.

- ‘Sole Agency’ similar to the above, where the agent is the only one to have to right to sell your property, however you should not have to pay the estate agent if you find a buyer yourself.

- ‘Sole Selling’ even if you find a buyer yourself, you will still have to pay the agent, and also the agent is the only one with the right to sell your property.

How visible is the agent you are using in the market? Look in the local newspaper for a company that advertises frequently, as it’s a sign they are doing well and you know they are worth trying. It is also worth knowing how long properties have stayed in their books, as again this may give an indication of how long it takes to sell.

Also look for other sale boards within your area, to get an idea of how many similar houses are selling for, to give you a clue of putting a good selling price for your home.

What is an EDGAR agent? EDGAR is the Electronic Data-Gathering Analysis, and Retrieval System. This system is designed to handle the Securities and Exchange Forms that publicly held companies are required to file. What used to be done manually is now able to be done automatically online. Your Edgar agent collects, validates, indexes, accepts, and forwards appropriate forms that your company is required to submit.

EDGAR filings is a great boon for investors and companies. In the age of instant online access to nearly everything, companies did not want to wait for audit reports that took a long time for accountants to generate. With online agents, the reports are collected, synthesized, and accessible to companies and investors alike. Investors can quickly and easily view financial information of companies in which they are considering investing.

Companies are required to file these forms with the EDGAR database. Like many financial forms, these are long and complicated. Often companies don't want to spend time on them when they have to run their businesses. The solution that companies find is to have a service prepare and file the appropriate forms for them. Such services offer companies quarterly and annual filings of a variety of forms, as well as quarterly, semiannual, and annual filings for mutual funds. In addition, they will handle Quarterly Institutional Investment Managers filings. Filing agents also "EDGARize," or convert documents into the acceptable SEC filing format.

Putting everything in the correct format, meeting the deadline requirements, having all the pertinent data, and knowing which fees are applicable is an overwhelming job when added to the myriad duties company officials already have to handle. Edgar agents handle this process for them in order to ensure they are in compliance with the SEC rules. In order to get started with an EDGAR filing agent, you need to provide certain information. For instance, you will need to provide both your CIK (Central Index Key) and CCC (CIK Confirmation Code) numbers to the agent. These are unique codes given to entities in order to file forms with the SEC. Your company then emails the documents that need to be filed. The filing agent EDGARizes the documents, and you are given the opportunity to review them. After your review, the agent will file the forms with the SEC.

These services can often work very quickly, if you are in a time crunch. As with any service you hire, you should check on the reputation of the company. Also, are they knowledgeable about all aspects of the EDGAR system and filing requirements? Do they file your documents or only prepare them? Registered agents can help you handle the necessary forms, ensuring that your company is up-to-date with the SEC's regulations.
