Stop Foreclosure Florida – Selling Mistakes to Avoid

By
Real Estate Agent with The Palm Beach Group

Deciding to stop foreclosure Florida by selling your home is actually the easy part. The actual selling will be more challenging especially if you consider the large inventory of distressed homes for sale in the market. Of course, it is only understandable you would want to handle the selling or be involved with the agent’s plan of action. In any case, a lot of homeowners commit selling mistakes including the following:

Pricing the home too high – This is considered to be the worst mistake you will ever make. You will really have trouble attracting buyers. If you are already within the re-instatement period, it would not be a good idea to do this. In order to determine if the home is priced right, you need to do a comparative market analysis. If this sounds too technical for you, you can simply look around your neighborhood and inquire about the selling price of the other homes for sale or contact a local real estate professional.

Selling the Home without Staging – Again, the key to receiving a good offer is to make the home as attractive as possible. Your real estate agent might want to stage your home or make sure it is ready to be viewed. If you think it will cost you, you need not worry. A simple furniture rearrangement can go a long way.

Wrong Marketing Strategies – Although this basically lies within the agent’s responsibility, you should still make sure that the agent is employing every marketing technique to attract the best offers. Effective marketing campaigns could include print advertising, open houses and even agent tours.

Hiring an Inexperienced Realtor or Agent – considering the tough competition among sellers, getting professional help is recommended as long as the agent or Realtor you hire already has many years of experience behind him or her. With experience comes skill and you will need this quality when dealing with the lender as well as the buyer.

If you make an effort to avoid these mistakes, you will soon find yourself accepting the offer and signing over your home to the new owners.
