6 Selling Mistakes
If you’re selling, don’t do these things – here are a few notes from the video!
1. Don’t Sell Before The House Is Ready.
If it doesn’t present well, it won’t sell well. See the tips below for ideas about what steps will most help to sell your home.
2. Don’t Over-Improve
People buy houses in neighborhoods which fit in, and are not overdone.
If yours is so “improved” that it sticks out you’re hurting your chances at selling. Also, it may be difficult to obtain the best price because their are no comparable sales in the neighborhood.
3. Don’t Hire Wrong
Choose your agent on the basis of sound business reasons.
Personal relationships matter, but experience and expertise will determine financial success in your sale, and should be given first priority.
4. Don’t Hide Anything
Covering up or ‘failing to mention’ real problems with your property will not serve you well … inspectors will find the problems, and state disclosure laws are strict. You may be sued for failing to disclose latent defects, and could be liable in after the sale for anything that should have been made clear.

5. Don’t Rush
You should know about your mortgage, including pre-payment penalties your market conditions and trends and your options for your next home before jumping on the market.
6. Don’t Get Too Emotional
Your attachment to your house and perfectly meeting ALL your own financial needs can be a hindrance to selling your home. If you can’t set aside emotional attachment and be flexible the sale won’t go as you’d like it to.
Remember – it is your home now- but to the buyer it’s a house they must be able to imagine as THEIR home.
