β’ 5 COMMON MYTHS ABOUT SELLING YOUR HOME β’
1. "If the first offer was good, that means my home is worth much more." πΈ
This is not always the case & assuming this can lead to missed opportunities. This is why it is important to work with an experienced realtor when it comes to selling your home; they can give you knowledgeable advice about whether or not you should accept an offer.
2. "You want to get pre-approved after finding your next home." π
It is so important to get pre-approved BEFORE you begin looking for a home. This way, you know how much you can afford & you & your realtor can look for homes within the appropriate price range. If you wait to get pre-approved until after you find your home, there is a chance that by the time you got approved, someone else could have come in & made an offer.

3. "Houses sell themselves. Just put a for sale sign up and it's sold."
Selling a home requires marketing, research, and TIME! β± If you want to find the most serious buyers & reach the largest audience possible, you need to call a realtor! They have contacts with serious buyers, access to marketing tools, and usually entire teams to assist in the process!
4. "Overpricing will give more room for negotiations and get a better price." π
Buyer's agents are trained to know when a home is overpriced and typically will not encourage their clients to make an offer on or even view an overpriced home. This can cause your home to sit on the market for a long period of time which, along with price drops, can cause buyers to lose even more interest over time.
5. "All real estate agents are the same & will get the same exact results." π©βπ»
