Home sellers in today’s Lake Michigan real estate market need to have all of their bases covered and must understand the [very] different rules that apply towards attracting buyers. As a seller, it’s very easy to make a mistake that could hinder your efforts, make sure to avoid these common mistakes that many first time home sellers often fall prey to.
Not hiring the right realtor. There are realtors who classify themselves as a jack of all trades and then are those who specialize in specific areas. For selling purposes, you’ll probably be much better off with someone who thoroughly understands the market you’re trying to sell in and/or to.
Lacking enough photos and using bogus advertising. Chances are you’ll be selling your Lake Michigan property to buyers from across the country, if not the world. The more photos you can provide, the better the chances of a buyer being able to envision themselves living there. On that note, be truthful in your descriptions and photos. Touching up pictures to give buyers a false impression will quickly backfire as soon as they do their own walkthrough.
Waiting for housing market conditions to improve. Many sources are pointing towards an imminent housing recovery but for the time being, prices are still dropping. Thus, the longer you wait the more money you stand to lose as prices and values drop.
