1.      Don’t overprice.  It’s the kiss of death. 2.      Don’t choose the agent who gives you the highest price and lowest commission.  They are just “buying” your listing.  See #1 above. 3.      Not prepping your property for sale.  Clean, de-clutter, paint, landscape, stage the house, etc. 4.      Ignoring maintenance and repair items.  These will ALWAYS come back to haunt you.  It stops buyers from making offers, it kills sales at inspection time, or selling prices are negotiated lower to deal with these issues. 5.      Making decisions based on emotions.  When your house goes on the market, it has become a commodity and not your home. 6.      Listening to the advice of friends and neighbors instead of your agent.  Your agent is a professional in the business of selling – your friends are not. Looking for a REALTOR® to help you avoid these big mistakes and others?  Then give me a call!  603-526-4116
