10 Common Mistakes Sellers' Make

10.  Not fixing creaking floors, squeaking doors and faucet leaks (buyer’s may think a lot more is wrong)
9.  Not taking a critical look at the house’s “curb appeal”- this is one thing you want to make sure is pleasing.
 Would you look at a home that looks torn up from the outside? Many buyers don’t and drive away. 1st impression is everything...
 so cut the lawn, clean the porch, remove any waste, plant some flowers, etc.
8.  Not understanding the process of how their home is listed and sold  - (ask and find out)
7.  Not removing pets and animals from home - pet odours, barking dogs drive away many perspective buyers
6.  Thinking the full amount spent on upgrades can be added  in full to listing price
5.  Being present when showings occur - you want people to dream,  talk about your home and see themselves living there.  They won’t  do this if you are present.
4.  Not staging the property for sale  (Declutter, Paint, Lighting,    Music,Fireplace, Fragrance, etc.)
3.  List property based on commission -  Remember  “What you pay is what you get” .  If I’m willing to cut my commission  so easily, what else am I willing to cut to make a sale?
2.  Try to sell their own home -For Sale By Owner-  Again most list with  agents and lose valuable time and money.
1.  Priced too high - Don’t do it.  In a falling Market, you’ll waste  precious time, be frustrated and lose money.    Note:  The longer your home stays on the market, buyers will start    thinking there is a problem with it.  Then it becomes a Market    Rejected Home (MRH) and usually ends up being relisted for a    far lower price.  Don’t let that happen to you.    Contact me if you have any questions or concerns!
