3 Mistakes to Avoid When Selling your Home

1. NOT PRICING PROPERLY

Pricing your home properly, from the start, can potentially help save you money.  If you price your home incorrectly from the start, it can end up costing you thousands of dollars and months of frustration. Pricing correctly is crucial in achieving a successful sale and is helpful during negotiations; concrete facts will help justify your asking price.  If you price too high, you may frighten qualified buyers away.  If your property is on the market too long, buyers will place a stigma on the property causing the property to become stale with little or no interest. 

2. FAILING TO SHOW THE PROPERTY AT ITS BEST

You may have heard the famous line, “You only get one chance to make a good first impression”.  Although this may not hold truth for many things, it can be very true when you list a home.  You need to ensure that your home shows at its best before you place it on the market.  Things need to be in working order, you need to depersonalize, remove clutter, clean and sanitize the home before you list.  A homeowner should follow many steps before listing their home.  This is a crucial stage in the selling process and can help achieve the highest value for the home. Before listing a property for sale, Alaa and his team of professionals ensure that the home is “picture perfect ready”. 

3. NOT HIRING THE RIGHT AGENT

When a company seeks out an employee for a specific job, they conduct interviews to find the most suitable candidate; homeowners should do the same when searching for a Realtor.  As a homeowner, you have worked very hard for your investment, so ensuring that you hire the best Realtor for the job is very important.  Alaa offers several packages to help meet his client's financial needs and he successfully markets the home to capture a wide range of prospective and qualified buyers.  Hiring the right agent from the start can help ensure that you receive top dollar and service!
