Believe it or not, spring is just over two weeks away (hooray!) and with the warmer temperatures, of course, comes the heating up of the real estate market. If you're planning on selling, brush up on some of the best advice from our first-ever "Sellers Week," a week's worth of coverage devoted to all things sales-related, which ran in February.

Map out every step in the timeline of a sale
Learn what goes into a broker's exclusive contract, as well as what shouldn't be in there
Read up on "co-broking," an industry term for your broker working with buyer's agents to get you the best price possible
Set the right price (which, perhaps, should include the number 9)
Find out what listing buzzwords will sell your apartment fast (hint: terms like "exposed brick" may help)
Show your apartment or brownstone, even if you're renting it out
Remember that sometimes the highest offer isn't always the best (especially in a co-op)
