Top Three Mistakes Sellers Make

Mistake #1:Basing their asking price on needs or emotion rather than market value.
Many times, people make their pricing decisions based on how much they paid for or invested into their home. This can be an expensive mistake.  Overpriced homes take longer to sell and eventually net the seller less money.  Consult with a real estate professional.  They can assist you in pricing your home correctly from the beginning.

Mistake #2: Failing to “showcase” their home.
First impressions are the most important. You only have to look at showrooms at new launches to see how important this point is. Surprisingly, many sellers fail to attach the same importance to this point. Thoroughly clean and prepare your home before you put it on the market if you want top dollar.

Mistake #3: Trying to SELL their house when buyers come to see it.
One of the biggest mistakes enthusiastic home sellers make is to follow buyers around and try to SELL them on the property.  This can have a negative effect on the buyers.  The best thing to do is to stay out of the way and let the buyers look at the property at their own pace. They’ll get a better feel for the property and whether the house is for them.
