COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID WHEN SELLING YOUR HOME PRICING YOUR HOME TOO HIGH One of the most common mistakes sellers make is pricing their homes too high. If your home is priced too high, it may sit on the market for much longer than anticipated while buyers look at comparable properties that are priced much more reasonably. PET / UNPLEASANT ODORS Strong odors such as pet urine and smoking can be major turn off for anyone thinking
about buying your home. Consider shampooing carpets and deep cleaning prior to showing your home, in order to get rid of any offensive odors in the house. NOT DE-CLUTTERING YOUR HOME BEFORE A LISTING The one the biggest mistakes an owner can make is not de-cluttering their home prior to listing. This may seem like a minor thing, but having too much furniture or decorations throughout the home and make the space feel small, giving buers a hard time envisioning the potential of the space.
UNWILLING TO MAKE REPAIRS ON HOME In most cases, a buyer is not going to want to move into a home that requires lots of
work upon moving in. By doing necessary repairs, you make your home as appealing as possible to a wide range of potential buyers. NOT STAGING YOUR HOME Staging your home can give you a big
advantage when trying to sell your home. The main point of staging is to allow potential
homebuyers the chance to picture themselves living in your space. Seeing a home with furniture in place, and artwork arranged to
highlight features of the home can play a huge factor when showing your home.
