Prepare the details that make your Birmingham home distinctive
Before choosing a listing price, organize the information buyers will use to understand your property:
- Renovations and finishes: Note completed improvements, approximate dates, and available receipts or warranties.
- Layout and usable space: Gather floor plans if available and flag additions, finished lower-level space, or other details to review against the property record.
- Lot and outdoor features: List garage space, outdoor living areas, landscaping, and other features you want the marketing to explain accurately.
- Sale and move timing: Discuss preparation work, showing availability, and whether the sale needs to align with another purchase.
The City of Birmingham’s BS&A property portal provides assessing, property-sale, tax, and building-record search options. Review the information relevant to your property and bring any questions to our consultation.
