1.) Overpricing: Setting an unrealistic price can deter potential buyers. The last thing you want is to overprice your house and have buyers wonder what's wrong with it? Why is it not selling?
2.) Neglecting Repairs: Neglecting to make repairs to your home before you sell not only makes it less appealing to buyers, but inspectors will hone in on those, and rest assure, point them out to the buyers anyway.
3.) Poor Presentation: Cluttered or poorly staged homes may not attract buyers. Think along the lines of less is more.
4.) Incomplete Disclosures: Transparency is crucial; withholding information can lead to legal issues. Realtors have access to up to date documents that you, as a seller will need to protect your interest.
5.) Not Working with an Agent: Listing agents help sellers accurately price their houses, and negotiate with buyers’ agents to get the best deal for their client. Choosing not to work with an agent can open you up to some risks. Selling a home is a detailed and complicated process. Having an experienced agent to handle it for you is imperative.
