- Pricing the home too high - This can deter potential buyers and result in a longer time on the market. It's important to research comparable home sales in the area to determine a fair price.
- Not preparing the home for showings - This includes not cleaning or decluttering the home, not making necessary repairs, and not staging the home to appeal to potential buyers.
- Not disclosing known issues - Failure to disclose known issues with the home can result in legal trouble and can also negatively impact the sale.
- Not being flexible with showings - Restricting showings to certain times or days can make it harder for potential buyers to view the home, leading to fewer offers.
- Not working with a real estate agent - A real estate agent can help with pricing, marketing, and negotiating the sale of a home, making the process less stressful for the seller.
To avoid these mistakes, set a fair price, prepare your home to show it well, disclose any issues, be flexible with showings, and consider hiring a real estate agent.
