Sellers - Are YOU Preventing YOUR House From Selling?

Sellers, are you "guilty" of any of the following:

• Failure to keep up with repairs (Faucet leaking? Shingles missing? Siding torn? Window broke?)
• Overpricing (Price your home based on your Realtor® suggestions.  They are your market experts)
• Did not update interior (Brass is out, so is wallpaper.  Don't be offended, just make the changes.  Don't know where to start...visit model homes and see what builders are doing)
• Let landscaping get out of control (Trim hedges, mow/weed-eat/edge, use mulch, plant flowers, fix broken borders, etc.)
• Too emotionally attached (Do you REALLY want to sell?  Keep the memories and let the house go) 
• House too personalized (Remove family photos, offensive material, trophies, your taxidermy collection, etc. Don't make potential buyers look past your keepsakes, remove the distractions altogether)
• Not using a Realtor® / refusing to pay commission (Nothing wrong with wanting to maximize your return but are you that confidant your home selling ability is better than a qualified agent?)
• Refusing to paint (Always go neutral.  Fresh paint smells/looks clean and makes it easier for buyers to visualize how their stuff will look in the room/house)
• Too much Clutter (Clear out old books, newspapers, appliances, knick-knacks, etc. (Buyers want space and many won't be able to see past your stuff to recognize the potential)

If you are guilty of 1 or more, you are definitely contributing to, and probably preventing your house from selling.  Why not make simple changes, listen to your Realtor®, and put yourself in a better position to sell your home?!
