Sellers, listen up! If you want to sell your home as quickly and smoothly as possible, avoid doing these 5 🖐 things!
1. Working alone:
Not hiring a real estate agent to represent you may seem like an easy way to avoid paying commission, but you’ll miss out on a real estate agent’s market knowledge, contacts and help with the process.
2. Overpricing your home:
This may cause it to sit on the market for too long, deter qualified buyers, you may end up having to sell for less if your listing goes stale.
3. Selling at the wrong time:
Keeping in mind the time of year and the weather are important to timing your home’s sale, but also take into consideration how long you’ve lived in the house — to avoid capital gains taxes on your primary residence, you’ll need to have lived there for at least two of the last five years.
4. Cutting corners (or not making necessary repairs):
Homebuyers today expect move-in ready conditions and might be deterred from even the most minor defects.
5. Getting emotional and not being willing to negotiate:
It’s important to separate your emotional connection to the home from the details of the transaction. It can be hard to negotiate with buyers when you love your home, but acting like a professional is important.
