10 Mistakes Sellers Make


There’s nothing here that’s necessarily ground-breaking, but a clever refresher is always welcomed (and who doesn’t love a little viral video?)

1 – De-Clutter
2 – De-pet
3 – Leave during showings
4 – Strongly consider the first offer
5 – Lowball offers aren’t insults – they’re a starting point
6 – Update, clean and paint
7 – Curb appeal matters
8 – De-personalize
9 – Lighten the house
10 – Fix broken stuff

Not included – #11 – Price to the market; what you owe does not matter to the buyers or the market.
