Want "Real Estate Sellers Absolution"? Read On!
Becoming, or staying emotionally involved, in the home selling process is the #4 mistake.
You must realize you are selling a piece of property, not your home. You have to step back and look at it as a commodity. Your "Home" is not what you are selling. Your home is where you are going to live after you have sold this piece of real estate.
Over improving or under improving for the neighborhood is the #5 mistake quite a few real estate sellers make.
Spending too much on improvements will not necessarily reflect in a dollar for dollar increase in the sale price of your house. Yes, it will probably increase the "saleability factor" but you won't recoup your investment.
There are really only two remodeling projects which real estate sellers usually get their money back from (or more), and that is the bathroom and kitchen
BE CAREFUL HERE, NOT improving to bring your house up to the level of the other homes in the immediate area could cost you more in a lower sale price than the actual expense of the improvement.
Hiring the wrong REALTOR® is the #6 mistake and can be even worse than having no agent at all. Please read the section on AGENTS before coming to a decision on this VITAL step.
Last but not least, the #7 mistake is non disclosure of pertinent facts regarding the house or real estate sale.Most States require that you give the buyer a real estate sellers disclosure
If you hide anything, the chances are that it will come back to bite you. Much better to be upfront and set your expectations accordingly.
If a buyer or RealtorŪ thinks you are hiding something, your house will prove very difficult to sell!
For those of you that have decided to go it alone, please see the FSBO (for sale by owner) page.
