Top Seller Mistakes

Overpricing your home. Real Estate agents should always make thier clients aware of the local home prices.  Comapritive data is the most inportant tool in correctly pricing a house for sale.  When a home is overpriced it's hard to ask for less later as buyers start wondering what might be wrong with the house.

Not being objective about your home.  You may love the red paint in your master bedroom, but it may on appeal to a percentage of potential buyers looking at your home.  A reputable agent can tell you what you may need to change so that a wider range of buyers will consider your home.

Over-improving before selling. Sellers may spend thousands of dollars doing the wrong upgrades to their home prior selling, expecting to recoup this cost. If you are thinking of selling, ask your realtor which upgrades are cost effective.
