Top 10 Costly Mistakes Sellers Make and How to Avoid Them
It's not uncommon for sellers to get in the way of their own success when selling a home. Learn from the mistakes others have made and avoid these common traps…
MISTAKE #10: Waiting until after you’ve tried - and failed - to sell your house
before preparing it for marketMISTAKE #7: Covering up Known Defects
MISTAKE #6: Not Containing or Relocating Pets
MISTAKE #5: Selling Before You’re Emotionally Ready
MISTAKE #4: Failing to De-Clutter
MISTAKE #: De-Cluttering Too Much
Avoid the temptation to get carried away when de-cluttering your home. You don’t want to make your house feel too sparse or cold.
And remember, while it’s very important to “neutralize” your home, it doesn’t mean every wall needs to be painted white or "builder's beige"! Strive for the “hotel room effect” – that neutral understated spacious and inviting feeling that’s not too personal.
