Avoid These Common Home Selling Mistakes

The housing market is making a healthy recovery, but that does not mean you can get lazy when listing your home. In fact, a few of the most common home selling mistakes can leave your home languishing as a listing, or you accepting an offer well below what you had hoped. So you can make the most of your home sale, skip these mistakes.

• Overpricing: Listing your home too high will drive away buyers in droves. To ensure you list at the right price, ask several real estate agents at which price point they would put your home and use that information to guide you.
• Staying Silent: Marketing is your friend in selling your home fast and for the right price. Use the internet, hold public open houses, and partner with your real estate agent to spread the word about your sale in your community.
• Skipping Fixes: You may be used to all the little things that are broken in your home, but buyers will not be. Fix that loose hand rail, the carpet stain, and the chipped paint so that little issues will not keep buyers away.
• Being Emotional: Yes, your house has served as your family’s center for many years. That does not mean, however, that you bringing emotions into the sale is helpful. In fact, the more you can see your sale as a business transaction, the easier it will be for you.
