BIGGEST MISTAKES
PRICE CONDITION MARKETING
Setting your price too
high is a surefire way to
drive away buyers.
Research has shown
that it is harder to sell a
home that has been on
the market for a long
time set for too high of
a price.
Be realistic. Price your
home based on the
market and what
similar homes are
averaging in your area.
Ignoring the condition
of your home, such as
ignoring chipped paint
or broken tiles can be
detrimental to you
selling. Buyers will
notice these things and
will more than likely
become disinterested
in your home.
Invest the time and
money to make the
necessary changes in
improving your home's
condition. Small
upgrades and repairs
will go a long way
towards selling.
Poor marketing can
hinder your home from
selling quickly and for a
decent price. Not
properly utilizing the
power of technology to
market your home will
stop you from reaching
out to a wide array of
potential buyers.
Hire an experienced
real estate agent in
your area who will
properly market your
home with an
aggressive and
effective marketing
plan.
