Beware of the Biggest Home Seller Mistakes

By

Skull & crossbonesBeware of the Biggest
Home Seller Mistakes!!

Although Mother Nature is still dumping the fluffy white stuff all over us here in the northeast, the spring real estate market is upon us.  Buyers are out in full force, which has been proven by the record number of visitors to our open houses the past few weeks (once the Superbowl is over, Sundays are FULL of home shoppers!!)

Many homeowners have been holding off selling their homes because of the past downturn in the market and the losses that were incurred in value.  But prices in the Central New Jersey market have been rising.  Buyer interest is strong and it is an excellent time to sell a home in New Jersey.

While selling your home can be a nerve-wracking and stressful experience, it doesn't have to be.  By hiring the right Realtor® to provide the expertise and advice, you can easily reach your goals.  Make sure that they have a solid marketing plan, such as my Two Weeks To Sold!™ system.

Part of Two Weeks To Sold!™ is helping Sellers to understand why and when Buyers buy.  What is their motivation, and what they are looking for.  And, of course, what they are NOT looking for.

The things that will turn off and turn away Buyers are the biggest mistakes that home Sellers make.  These are the things that will cause the home to sell for less than it could.  These are the things that will make a Seller LOSE MONEY!!  Pure and simple.  Avoid these things to avoid anything less than a Successful Sale!

Tg -  Let's hope the sellers heed your advice.  Now is the time when the competition is low.  The graphic above can be summed up as people do not see the property as you do and they are the buyers.  Put yourself in their shoes.
