How to Avoid Today’s Top Seller Mistakes
Want to know some of the top mistakes sellers are making today and how to make sure they don’t happen to you too?
The biggest missteps are
- Pricing a house too high – A great real estate agent will suggest a price at which to list your home based on comparable homes that have already sold in the market. Overpricing a home will lead to missed opportunities with buyers that are serious about buying in the range at which your home should be listed.
- Skipping repairs – Many sellers do not want to spend a few thousand dollars making repairs to a house you are about to sell. Agents understand that. However, they also understand that few buyers want to move into a house that needs a bunch of work done immediately upon moving in. One of the best ways to sell your home is to make it as appealing as possible.
- Not being objective and Not being willing to negotiate – Setting a market price on a home is not an exact science. Many real estate agents will provide the seller with a range in which your home may sell. Don’t be insulted by low offers. Buyers want to get the home for the best price and on the best terms they can. Just like sellers want to sell for the best price and terms.
And the best way to avoid falling into any of these traps is to partner with a trusted real estate agent who knows exactly what to do.
