Are You Guilty of BLOWING UP
YOUR OWN HOME SALE
All to often, when the sale of your home isn’t going well, it is easier to blame others. But the first place to look as at yourself. Many times your home sale is not going well because of things you might have done. Here are 8 reasons you may be the cause of your home not selling.

Reason #1 Overpricing Your Home The price you choose directly impacts the activity you have from home buyers. Home buyers are educated and know when a home is overpriced or priced fairly.

Reason #2 Denying Access Denying home buyers showings leads to trouble. Home buyers have different schedules you need to accommodate. One lost showing can mean a lost offer.

Reason #3 Not Everyone Loves Your Pet Not everyone loves pets. There nothing worse than a dog snarling and growling during a showing. There are people that are just plain scared of animals and won’t go in a house with an animal. You’re also highlighting there may be pet odors and damage to your home.

Reason #4
Not Preparing Your Home
Being overconfident and thinking you don’t have to properly prepare your home for the market is a huge turn off to buyers. Cleaning, de-cluttering, and depersonalizing are essential to getting your home ready.

Reason #5 Not Leaving Your Home
Don’t make your home buyers uncomfortable. Leave your house during showings. I have seen sellers sit on the phone smoking, guys getting worked up over a ball game and way more! Leave give your buyer the time they need to make a decision.

Reason #6 Bad Listing Photos
The listing photos of your home need to be top notch. Out of focus, crooked, poorly lit photos won’t grab a buyer’s attention. To the right find the same house photos taken by two different agents.

Reason #7
Ignoring Feedback Feedback gauges your home buyer’s reaction to your home. Listen to what the buyers are saying. One bad comment doesn’t make for a change but repeatedly hearing the same negative comment might mean there is a change in order.

Bonus
Hiring The Wrong Agent The right agent is critical. Hire a full time, experienced listing agent that has a proven marketing plan and backs up with data. Don’t go with a friend or family member just because they hold a license or the agent that gave you the highest price for your house.
