These Mistakes Can Prevent the Sale of Your {Business Area} Home

Selling a house in the current market can be tricky, but there are certain mistakes an owner can make that will cause a {Business Area} home to sit still without a decent offer and cause the listing to go stale.

To prevent that from happening, make sure you are not making one of the following mistakes when putting your property on the market.

Overpricing

While your {Business Area} home may hold sentimental value, that value does not translate into dollars. Be realistic about your asking price and know the market. Look at the list price of similar houses on the market to get a rough idea of what you should ask for your property. Your real estate agent can also give you their expert opinion based on experience and comparable property sales.

Neglecting Repairs

Glaring problems with a property will cause the buyer to think the {Business Area} home was not properly maintained. While it may cost money, repairing things like holes in the walls, broken light fixtures or missing tiles can change a buyerโ€™s entire attitude about a property.

Ignoring Curb Appeal

Overgrown and un-weeded yards can cause potential buyers to drive right by. Also, having junk in the front of your house or peeling paint can deter someone from considering the property. Step across the street and take an honest look at your house โ€” and then make necessary adjustments.

Creating Foul Odors

Odorous foods, pet dander and the smell of smoke can be extremely distasteful to buyers. Even if you are used to the smell, others entering your house will not be. Make sure you air out the house, smoke only outdoors, and put away the litter boxes before an open house or showing.

Without even realizing theyโ€™re sabotaging a potential sale, homeowners can make several mistakes when first trying to sell a {Business Area} home. Many mistakes have easy fixes and are even preventable.

    "My house was on the market for 10 months, and I needed to find another way. The mortgage was too much for me and I needed to downsize. I found Maria and she made a good offer. We closed in 26 days!"
