These are the FIVE mistakes I see cost sellers the most, and every one of them is avoidable.
1. Donāt stay in the house during showings. Buyers shut down when the seller is standing there. They wonāt open closets, linger, or picture themselves living there.
2. Donāt ignore odors. You genuinely canāt smell your own home. Buyers can, and it sticks with them.
3. Donāt pour money into unnecessary repairs. Not everything earns its cost back. Some of it just delays your listing.
4. Donāt overprice it. Price 5% over market and you lose half your buyers before they ever walk in.
5. Donāt list before you prep. You donāt get a second chance at a first impression. Once a buyer sees ugly, they canāt unsee it.
Do these right and you get better offers and a faster sale. Thatās the whole game.
