Let’s get started by taking a look at the steps involved in selling a house and some factors that may affect the price.  
Steps to Sell Your Property
  Selling a property involves several different steps, beginning with hiring an agent or broker who can assist you throughout the process. The market conditions should also be considered - if it is a buyer's market, it might be better for you to wait until prices are higher. Next, you need to hire an appraiser who can determine the fair market value of your property so you know how much it is worth. Once these steps have been completed, it’s time to start advertising your property and negotiating offers with potential buyers. 
Factors That Affect Price
  There are various factors that can affect the price of your property when you are selling it. These include its location – properties near popular attractions or with good transport links tend to sell for more – as well as its condition – houses in good condition tend to fetch higher prices than those that need repair work done on them. Additionally, taxes and other fees associated with selling a home can also affect its price – for example, if there is a transfer tax due upon completion of the sale then this will reduce the amount of money received from it. Finally, any incentives offered by local government bodies in order to encourage people to buy homes within their jurisdiction could also influence pricing decisions.   

As you can see, there are many things that need to be taken into consideration when selling a house in Washington DC. It is important that all steps are followed correctly and thoroughly in order for everything to run smoothly and successfully.
