In an ideal world home selling is a complicated and bewildering endeavor. The average home owner only sells a home a few times
in a lifetime. You can avoid the most common mistakes, if you know what they are.
- Seller's Reason for Selling is Uncertain -- You should know your reason for selling and act appropriately. If you're not pressured to sell,
you can take your time, prepare well and ask a higher price.
- Lack of Good Preparation -- If you're selling your house "as is" you'll get a far lower price. A buyer knows and won't pay for years of wear
and tear.
- A Poor Agent Choice or "Sale by Owner" -- There are places to save money and places to spend it. Good representation and experience is definitely
the place to spend your home sale dollars.

- Listing Too Long -- Many buyers watch the market long before they buy. If your home has been sitting on the market for months, it's a sign to
buyers that's something is awry.
- Priced Too High -- Pricing a home involves many factors: location, condition and of course the market. It's a science and an art. Price it too
high and you're making a mistake.
- Staying Around During a Showing -- As much as you want be around to see the potential buyers, believe me, you'll kill the spirit of the occasion.
People need to feel free to look without someone watching.
- Poor Aromas -- Cigarette smoke, diapers, fruit, stinky perfume or old fruit can stop potential buyers right at the door. It's very true that
odors leave impressions in memory like no other sense.
- Neglect of Your Mortgage Payment -- While you may have a promising buyer, you still have to continue your mortage payments.
- Missing a Good Offer -- The best rule of thumb is to hook the first one you can, even if your gut tells you that a better one might come along.
- Closing Too Soon -- There are significant tax advantages to sellers who own their homes longer than twenty-four months. Close too soon, and
you'll miss it.
