Five Mistakes to Avoid When Selling a Home
Let’s be honest.
You know how to sell a home, no question about it. You’re a proven professional, a titan of industry, a jack of all real estate trades. But even the mighty err sometimes.
When in doubt, remind yourself of these Five Mistakes to Avoid when selling a home:
Failing to Declutter. I’m sure your clients are nice people, but to nest is to be human.
Disregarding Scale. Let’s just say maybe a three-part sectional isn’t the best option for a 130-sq. foot living room.
Skimping on Lights. Lots of these high-rise condo buildings are shrouded by surrounding high-rise condo buildings, and lots of basements are, well, basement-y.
Not De-Personalizing. Your clients’ clothes and knickknacks are lovely, but buyers want to envision themselves in the home.
Using Too Much Color. It’s an open house, not a carnival. Too much color is overwhelming to an objective eye, so sterilizing it a bit makes it easier to digest.
There are three tried-and-true ways to easily avoid these Five Mistakes: painting, cleaning, and, most importantly, staging.
83% of buyers’ agents say home staging made it easier to visualize a listing as a future home.
73% fewer days on the market for homes that are staged vs. homes that are not staged
51% of agents say staging increases the sale price of a home by as much as 10%.
