4 Mistakes Sellers Make

#1 was in my newsletter re: minor remodels
2. Rushing to put the house on the market
If you are not serious about selling, do not test the market by listing your property. If you are serious, take a few days to prepare yourself and prepare your home for sale.
3. Not finding experts who have experience in your area. Just because your neighbor's house sold for $500,000 a month ago, it does not mean you will get that today. You need someone who lives and works in your development, who knows the inventory and the history of the project. Realtors who live and work in your area, communicate with each other in order to sell your property.
4. Failing to realize the difference between a Realtor and a Stager.
Stagers work together to maximize the resale value of your home and minimize stress levels along the way. They create the look that sells. They transform the home into a marketable house , accenting all of its attributes, embellishing the existing furnishings with additional furniture , art and accessories where needed. There is usually fee for a stager.
Once the home is staged a competent Realtor can recommend a pricing level, knowing the market that the home will attract.
5. Not painting and making necessary repairs. Look at your home as a sophisticated buyer will.
Clean up landscaping, matbe even get a landscape architect to make some changes that show off your home; shine your front doorknob . Make the first impression a lasting one.
