Here are the six most common mistakes that we see sellers make.
I’ve seen sellers make plenty of mistakes when selling their properties, and I want to help you avoid making those same mistakes when you decide to sell. Here are the six most common mistakes to avoid when selling your property:
1. Picking the wrong agent. The right agent is a professional who responds to you in a timely manner and understands the current market. They’ll be upfront, honest, and tell you what you need to hear.
2. Overpricing your home. A well-priced home will always sell, even in a bad market. We’re in a seller’s market right now, but proper pricing is still very important. It helps attract the most offers and gets you the highest price possible.
3. Not making simple repairs. Some fixes are very easy to do, but many sellers think the buyer can take care of them after the sale. Doing some repairs can help your property stand out upfront. Buyers could see small imperfections and wonder what else could be wrong with the house.

4. Neglecting to declutter. Clutter is incredibly distracting from what you’re trying to show off, the home. Put things away so buyers can stay focused.
5. Restricting access. If it’s hard for buyers to see your home, they won’t bother trying. If they’re turned away from a showing, they seldom come back. Be flexible, and make sure your home is show-ready at all times.
6. Getting too emotional. It’s easy to get attached to your home, but sellers should view it as a product.
