Selling a home is incredibly exciting, but can also be very emotional. By avoiding common selling mistakes, you can increase your chances that your home selling experience is relatively stress-free, and most importantly, successful.

Here are 5 common mistakes sellers make, and how to avoid them:

①  .
The key to getting the best price and terms for your property is to price accurately. With all of the home valuation tools available these days, buyers are savvy and know when a home is overpriced. When looking at the recent comparable homes that have sold, make sure you evaluate the list price versus the sold price. Chances are they were priced lower, and bid up. You won’t get that scenario if you start too high. Overpricing your house in the belief that you can reduce the price back later is a strategy that can backfire badly. For instance, if prices are lowered, buyers may wonder if there’s something wrong with the property that kept other buyers away.

②
Just because it may be easier to sell your home today than it was two years ago, does not mean that you should just put it on the market in any condition. You will net the most money by preparing and staging your home to showcase it in the best possible light.

③
Navigating the terms and conditions of multiple contracts is a skill that not all agents possess. Who you work with matters! Hiring an agent based solely on the list price they recommend or the commission they charge are two of the biggest mistakes a seller can make when hiring an agent.

④
Study after study shows that sellers who use a real estate agent net more than selling by owner. By exposing the property to the most buyers, networking with other agents, and having the intricate knowledge of how to navigate the best terms, agents consistently provide the best results.

Staging your home – even in a seller’s market – is recommended! Although it is a HOT market, staging your house will make it stand out from the others in your price range, and you won’t waste a single opportunity to create a great impression. If you want to sell your home quickly and for the best possible price, staging is one of the easiest ways to make it happen.

Just to drop a few stats, according to the 2021 Profile of Home Staging from the National Association of Realtors:

• 23% of sellers’ agents reported an increase of 1-5% of the dollar value offered by buyers, in comparison to unstaged homes (which means more money in your pocket)

• 82% of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home

• According to the Real Estate Staging Association, staged homes sell 73% faster, on average, than their non-staged counterparts

Here’s what else — staging doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated! I’ve listed below a few non-negotiable staging homework items I give to all of my sellers:

✓ Declutter and depersonalize everything! Small objects don’t photo well so remove any knick-knacks and any personal items. When it comes to getting your home ready for the market, less is ALWAYS more
✓ Deep clean the entire home top-to-bottom like you’ve never cleaned before
✓ Focus on Curb appeal – fresh mulch, power washing, new wreaths, and front door mat with a pop of color
✓ Add fluffy white towels to the bathrooms, remove bathmats, and add white comforters to all of the beds – this will make the rooms feel larger, and the bathrooms look inviting (and clean)
✓ Remove area rugs and curtains
✓ Eliminate pet presence (and smells) and get rid of air fresheners! The best scent a home can have is CLEAN

If you’re curious how you can get your home looking its best, send me a message, and let’s chat. I’d love to help you sell quickly and for top dollar!
