If you’re serious about selling your home, it’s critical – before you sign anything – to know how to successfully sell in today’s market.  The ‘Secret” sounds far too simple and maybe that’s just part of the problem!

To beat the competition today, you simply must avoid these common mistakes most home sellers just like you make on a daily basis.  If you know what these mistakes are up front, you’ll more likely avoid them. 

Ultimately this will help you sell your home faster, with fewer headaches and you’ll end up with more money in your pocket too!

Here are the 11 most common mistakes sellers make – that you can now avoid:

1. Overpricing Your Home.

Look, when a property is lethally priced too high and does not sell in the beginning, the seller reduces the price in an effort to promote a faster sale. 

In addition, as more time goes by, the seller continues to drop the price.  However, because less interest is generated the longer a property remains on the market, the price ultimately nosedives until the house finally sells at a price below market value.

2. The “Gotta Get a Price” Syndrome:

The fact is, your home will sell for the price determined by the market NOT for what you need to get out of the deal. 

What’s more, pricing your home higher than that of your competition means that during the first 30 days of the listing, when your home should generate the most excitement, it gets ignored. 

What this means is your home becomes “shopworn” and buyers start getting suspicious that there must be something wrong with it due to length of time on the market.

So, the nightmarish odds are that you’ll receive something wastefully less for your property than you would’ve if it were priced right at the onset.
