Four Seller Mistakes to Avoid

Selling a home is so exciting, but it can also be an incredibly emotional and stressful. Avoiding these common, yet simple, seller mistakes can make the transaction quicker, more seamless, and more enjoyable for all parties. Spoiler alert: The right agent is me. 👋 😆 ⤵️

1️⃣ Don’t set an unrealistic price: Agents like myself will recommend a price range that is too dollar, but also within comps of recent sales for your neighborhood or location. We WANT to sell your home for the most money possible, but pricing too high often leads to more days on market, less showings and a lower price overall.

2️⃣ Getting emotional: I know it’s your home and you love it. But many sellers make the mistake of getting too emotionally invested in the sale process, taking buyer feedback and offers personal.

3️⃣ Hiring the wrong agent: There are so many agents in the area, but not all are created equal. When shopping agents, you want to keep in mind their experience, transactions closed, communication style, negotiation style and simply put, do you get along with them? Teamwork makes the dream work. 🤝

4️⃣ Not prepping house for sale: You don’t necessarily need to spend thousands to prep your home for sale. The most important things to consider are having the home neat, clean and organized. Your agent will also make recommendations on areas you can focus on to maximize the sales price of your home, and minimize the time it sits on market.
