Avoid The Most Common Mistakes When Selling Your Home

Here are the most common mistakes people make when selling their property.

Home Is Priced Too High

This will certainly turn buyers off, and within a short space of time you may have to reduce the asking price in order to get buyers even interested in making an offer. While you may feel your home is special, asking more than the fair market value will usually get you nowhere.

Home Is In Bad Condition

While your home in its current condition may work for you and your family, if there are obvious repairs that need to be made, or it is terribly outdated, fixing these problems will not only make it easier to market your home, but will also increase its value.  In most cases this increase will be considerably greater than the money you put into making the changes.

Home Is Being Marketed Incorrectly

When selling your home, the ultimate buyer will not simply walk through the front door so it is necessary to design a top quality marketing plan in advance of placing your property on the market .  Effective marketing will help ensure that your property receives maximum exposure to attract a ready, willing, and able buyer in the shortest period of time.

Home Is Not Being Viewed Often Enough

When a property is on the market for sale it is vital that sufficient viewings are carried out by the estate agent who has been given the responsibility to sell it.  Most buyers nowadays are working long hours and prefer to view at weekends and in the evenings.  It is advisable that the chosen agent is prepared to conduct viewings when required including Sundays if a buyer requests same.
