Ten Most Common Mistakes Sellers Make

1. Believe or choose the agent who prices their home the highest.

2. Choose or select an agent based on their valuation rather than their track record or ability to market the home.

3. Price the home above the market value (too high) in the initial marketing period which is the most critical time.

4. Neglect to interview 2 or 3 agents and request a marketing plan or proposal.

5. Neglect to check out the "competition" in the same area at that time.

6. Sign an offer without checking out the details with an attorney or top property professional.

7. Turn down the first offer which is generally the best you will get.

8. Place the home on the market before it is in the best condition.

9. Fail to give proper viewing access to available buyers.

10. Neglect in ensuring permanent fixtures remain with the property.
