Project management oversight (PMO) is an established practice where a review is prepared to examine the risk status of the project at selected points in time, and possibly explore potential hidden problems that should be addressed and proactively mitigated. Selling your home can be met with challenges because of failure to set a clear goal, poor communication, unreasonable deadlines, or lack of proper management; therefore, it is necessary to implement the four common ways to mitigate these risks: avoid them, accept them, reduce them, or transfer them. The chart below will identify seven challenges when selling your home and their mitigation efforts.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
Project Oversight Plan – Selling your home: This chapter introduces the concept of project management oversight (PMO) as applied to selling a home. It identifies seven key challenges in the home-selling process: selecting a realtor, navigating local market conditions, pricing the home, staging the home, passing inspection, closing the deal, and managing the emotional aspects of selling. For each challenge, the chapter proposes risk mitigation strategies, suggesting approaches like transferring risk (interviewing multiple realtors), accepting risk (adjusting listing timing based on market research), reducing risk (hiring an experienced realtor), and avoiding risk (pre-listing inspections). The chapter sets the stage by emphasizing proactive risk management as crucial for a successful home sale.
Project Performance Measures – Selling your home: This section focuses on employing earned value management (EVM) to track progress and performance during the home-selling project. Three key metrics are outlined: reviewing the project scope (selling the home within a defined timeframe), analyzing the project budget (managing expenses related to home improvements and staging), and reviewing client/agent satisfaction. The chapter uses a comparative analysis of planned versus actual values for each metric, demonstrating the application of EVM. For instance, while the planned timeline was twelve months, the actual sale took fourteen, resulting in a negative earned value due to a reduced asking price. Similarly, the budget analysis highlights cost savings through DIY methods but also acknowledges the impact on the project timeline. The chapter emphasizes the importance of regularly monitoring these metrics for proactive project adjustments.
Closing the Project – Selling your home: This chapter details the final steps involved in closing the home sale. It emphasizes the coordinated efforts required from the homeowner, the real estate agent, and the escrow agent. The chapter outlines a series of crucial tasks, including continuing mortgage payments, maintaining utilities, addressing financial and appraisal contingencies, handling potential damage to the property, and preparing for a final walkthrough. Moreover, it covers handling financial obligations from the sale proceeds, such as agent commissions, taxes, and payments to contractors. The importance of carefully reviewing settlement statements and ensuring correct handling of sale proceeds is emphasized, highlighting the administrative and financial complexities of the closing phase.
Performance Evaluation – Selling your home: This chapter provides a final assessment of the project's performance across four key areas: scope, cost, time, and agent quality. While the scope was well-defined and many tasks were successfully completed, the project suffered from delays due to changing realtors and appraisal issues, resulting in financial losses. The cost aspect, however, exceeded expectations due to successful cost-saving measures. The time aspect is rated as needing improvement, highlighting the impact of delays. Conversely, the agent's performance exceeded expectations once a suitable realtor was found. This concluding evaluation demonstrates a realistic assessment of both successes and shortcomings during the home-selling process.
