Home sellers always have one main thing in common: the desire to sell their house for the highest price in the quickest time. But that’s not the only thing sellers have in common. Many sellers make the same mistakes when selling their homes. Here are the three biggest mistakes sellers make, and how you can avoid them when you decide to sell your home.

Setting The Price Too High

Sellers often overestimate the price of their house, and end up pricing themselves right out of the market. A price that is too high is one that is not reflective of both your home, and the neighborhood it’s in. It can be difficult for a homeowner to objectively determine on his own the right price for his house. A seasoned real estate agent will help you assess your own home, your neighborhood, and comparable homes for sale in the area to price your house right.

Ignoring The Inside

A lot of sellers put their homes on the market without paying attention to how the home will appear to a buyer. Look at your home with a critical eye, and don’t ignore the chipped paint, dirty carpets and cluttered rooms. A real estate agent will look at your home objectively, and help give you tips on what you can do to make the interior of the home most appealing to buyers. Often, small changes on the inside will make a big difference.

Improper Marketing

Word of mouth is effective for many things, but not for selling a house. Proper marketing materials include good photos, and even a video and website. They include an accurate and exciting home description. And these materials should be accessible to a market of people who you don’t know, but who may be interested in buying your house. A real estate agent will have the resources to not only put together a dynamic marketing package for your home, but will have the contacts and connections to make sure that package gets in front of qualified buyers looking for a home just like yours.
