Costly Seller Mistakes
Money doesn't grow on trees...
Paying a 6% Commission – We don't disagree that a good full-service Realtor® is worth 6%. We simply believe in giving back to our clients, and we build our business around it. Let Team Results offer you both topnotch service and a great value.
Poor Housekeeping – The prospective homebuyer's first impression is the most important. An unbelievable amount of home sales have been lost to cluttered rooms, dirty bathrooms, carpet stains, excessive dust, etc. Price will get the buyer in the home but it's the condition that sells it.
Signing a Six-Month Listing Agreement – Some agents use long, no escape contracts that can trap an unhappy client. Team Results offers listing agreements that let you out at any time. We work hard to keep you happy from day one to closing.
Difficult Access for Showings – Accessibility is key to a profitable sale. Online access with a virtual tour is vital. A keybox for convenient personal showings is also important. The more accessible your home, the more showings you will get. Buyers who can't get a viewing will purchase elsewhere.
Failure to Make Repairs – Often minor improvements will yield as much as three to five times the repair cost at the time of sale. There are literally hundreds of homes on the market competing with yours. Minor fix-up jobs can make the difference between a closed sale at top dollar and a home that sits on the market for months.
Improper Pricing – Set the price too high and it will sit unsold for months. As more time passes, statistics show a property receives fewer showings and lower offers. On the other hand, price it too low and you may give away thousands in profit. A professionally prepared Market Analysis will help you take the guesswork out of pricing your home.
Getting Emotionally Involved – It’s vital to understand that selling your home is a dollars and cents business transaction. Don't let your emotional ties to your home affect your judgment. Remember, purchasers are not buying your home; they are buying a house to make into their home.
Picking the Wrong Real Estate Agent – The vast majority of all homes are sold by Real Estate agents, but all agents are not the same. The agent's experience, marketing skills, negotiating abilities, and availability will have a huge impact on your success.
