Avoid Mistakes That Could Cost You Thousands - Part 2

Below is the continuation from the previous post.

6. Market Timing/Seasonal Selling

Just as a broker who continually follows the trends of stock, your real estate professional continually follows trends of your real estate market.They will know if the market cycle is poised to
net you the most money. Avoid believing that property sales are seasonal, property is always selling.

7. Refusing To Make Cosmetic Changes

The prospective home buyer's first impression is the most important. Hundreds of thousands of home sales have been lost to unkempt lawns, cluttered rooms, bad stains, unpleasant odors- all the seemingly little things. Imagine you were the home buyer and clean your place from top to bottom... military style.

8. Wasting Time with an Unqualified Prospect.

Your representative's responsibility is to screen a prospect's qualifications before valuable time is lost. Be sure to align your self with the right professional and eliminate negotiating with unqualified prospects.

9. Don't Test The Market

Never put your property online to sell unless you are serious. The right professional will find you buyers and if you are harboring indecision... you will blow the sale.

10. Believing You Are Powerless To Make A Difference

Be a part of the team! Take an active role with your real estate professional to see what you can do to facilitate your sale. Networking with professional peers and personal friends often results in the sale of a home. It's s surprising how many homes are sold this way.

11. Believing All Realtors, Brokers and Others Are The Same.

With all the intricate details and critical decisions to be made concerning your home sale, should you rely on anyone but an experienced real estate investment professional? Many friends and family members have been estranged as a result of failing to meet expectations. Your home sale is a time consuming, effort related, difficult task. Maximize your profit by utilizing an experienced real estate investment professional.
