2. Get Emotionally Involved

This is one of the most common mistakes that sell-ers usually do. Don’t get too much attached to your home, instead, consider what the potential buyers might want. Paint it with neutral colors and put personal stuff away.

3. Set Your Sale Price Too High

Asking too much money for a home is the most common reason why buyers step back from the deal. Regarding this, you should assess the value of your home and price it right. Remember, your home is only worth what people will pay for it.

4. Over Customize Your Home

Upgrades are necessary in adding value to your home. However, don’t over customize your space, do small changes instead. Kitchen and bathroom renova-tions are among the upgrades that would raise the price of your property, just remember to invest wisely.

5. Trust An Inexperienced Realtor

One of the major pitfalls that sellers encounter is trusting an inexperienced realtor with the entire selling process. Realtors should guide and provide you with all the accurate information regarding your property, not the other way around. Before hiring a realtor, check his credibility and past works.
