3 Common Seller Mistakes You Need to Avoid When Listing Your Home

Selling your home quickly and for top dollar in our market means overcoming obstacles and avoiding some all-too-common mistakes other sellers make.

If you plan on selling your home soon, there are three common mistakes you need to avoid if you want to maximize your sale.

The first is forgetting that first impressions are important. Imagine that you’re going to a new restaurant for the very first time—how important is the first impression you get when you pull into the parking lot? Does it look appealing or dirty and rundown?

The same logic applies to your home sale. Your home starts “interviewing” for the job of being someone else’s the moment a buyer pulls up to the curb to look at it. After they get out, they’ll be scanning everything from the front yard’s landscaping to the entire front-facing exterior, and this focus gets even more magnified once they reach the front door and have to wait for their agent to open it.

So, pay attention to the area from the street to the front door and make sure it heightens buyers’ expectations of what the inside of the home looks like.

The second mistake is not hiring a team of experienced professionals to represent you. We see nice houses listed all the time that get passed over because they’re overpriced or their listing photos don’t look good, and having a team like the Anderson Hicks Group by your side will ensure the same thing doesn’t happen to your home.

Because we’re in a seller’s market and inventory is low, it’s widely believed that every home will sell no matter what. While most homes will end up selling, they won’t maximize their sale price without specialization and expertise. You need a professional to handle each phase of the listing process. If you do so, you’ll sell for 5% or even 10% more.

The last mistake is not having your finger on the pulse of the market. The market is changing quickly, and knowing how to put your home in a position to sell is crucial if you want to get the best deal possible. This is one more reason why having a team like us by your side is crucial—we absolutely have our finger on the pulse of the market.

The Importance of Pricing Correctly in Today’s Market

Pricing your home correctly is essential, and today we’ll explain why.

With between one and three months’ worth of inventory available in our market right now, buyer demand is high. Some sellers assume this gives them the license to price their homes however they want, but this isn’t the case. To sell quickly and for top dollar, strategic pricing is key.

Even in a low-inventory market, overpricing your home is a surefire way to deter buyers. And, usually, by the time you realize this is happening and decide to lower the price, buyers will have moved on. The longer a home sits on the market, the less likely it is to attract the interest of buyers.

Ultimately, it’s the market, not your preference, that dictates the price of your home. You’ll need to work closely with an agent if you want to maximize your profit when selling, as they’ll have the necessary tools and resources to choose a price that reflects what buyers are willing to pay for a home like yours.
