Top 10 Mistakes Sellers Make
Thinking of selling your home? The following are the Top 10 mistakes sellers make when listing their homes:
- Pricing your home too high. Compare with other sales in your area for a true price.
- Taking an inflexible position on financing. Have your agent explain what financing options are available.
- Errors in marketing time. Ask your real estate professional if the market cycle is poised to net you the most money.
- Not providing easy access for showings. If your home is easy for agents to show, more prospective buyers will see it.
- Not staging your property correctly. Put some items in storage, create more light, improve the “ambience” of your home so people can get a feel and a vision of what it will be like when they move in.
- Pricing your property too low. One reason for hiring a real estate professional is to make sure there is not money left on the table.
- Not re-evaluating the market plan. You and your Realtor may need to make intuitive changes based on the current market and buyers and your particular situation.
- Believing your agent is NOT doing the job when there aren’t any offers. If you don’t have a problem showing the home, but it hasn’t generated any interested buyers, it may be time to re-evaluate the price. Don’t blame your agent, especially if you directed your agent on price.
- Not making the right kind of repairs. Ask your real estate professional to suggest low cost solutions to minor repairs that will yield the best profits.
- Not giving the sales effort enough time. You should never give too little time to what is inherently a long process.
