Over the last couple of weeks I have seen 2 hand fulls of ways a seller hampered their own sale. Although some may get a good laugh, all these are real and has kept these homes from selling. I hope that future sellers can learn from their mistakes.
Home Sellers are keeping their home from selling...
1. When they over price the home.
2. When they do not allow buyers to see the home.
3. When they do not leave the home clean and presentable.
4. When they leave pets home that can scare buyers and their agents.
5. When the get offended by offers. (an offer starts the selling process)
6. When their counter offer is "There is a house down the street more in their price range."
7. When they threaten the listing agent for presenting an offer from a buyer.
8. When they ask for feedback and get offended when it is not positive.
9. When they do not correct what buyers find negative.
10. When they work against instead of with their agent.
In the end interest rates are rising, the amount of buyers is slowing, time on market is increasing for the more expensive homes. Now is the time to work with and not against your listing agent,
I leave you with my infamous philosophy which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest.
