1. 6 Home Selling Mistakes

2. if you’re selling its best
to avoid a few things…

3. 1. DON’T SELL
BEFORE THE
HOUSE IS
READY

4. “if it doesn’t present well,
it will not sell well!”

5. 2. DON’T
OVER
IMPROVE

6. people buy homes in neighborhoods
you’re hurting your best chances of selling
if your home is so improved it stands out

7. 3. DON’T
HIRE
WRONG

8. choose your agent for
BUSINESS REASONS
personal relationships matter,
but experience and expertise will
determine your sale’s financial success

9. 4. DON’T HIDE
ANYTHING

10. DISCLOSURE LAWS ARE STRICT
covering up or failing to mention
real problems does not work,
you can be sued well after the sale

11. 5. DON’T
RUSH IT

12. before jumping on the market know:
• your mortgage (including pre-payment
penalties)
• your market conditions and trends
• your options for your next home

13. 6. DON’T GET TOO
EMOTIONAL

14. sorry, but
your attachment to your house
and your financial needs
don’t really matter in the sale

15. IN A NUTSHELL
1. don’t sell before the house is
ready
2. don’t over improve
3. don’t hire wrong
4. don’t hide anything
5. don’t rush it
6. don’t get too emotional

16. remember:
it was your home,
but to the buyer it is a house
