The 7 Deadly Mistakes Most Homeowners Make


During the "summer doldrums,"I've been watching quite a few of the House and Garden TV shows. Many of these involve staging a previously unsalable house or townhouse to make it buyer-ready, and often adjusting a price that is unrealistic for today's market. I recently ran across the following list in a online newsletter, and think that it says it all:
The 7 Deadly Mistakes Most Homeowners Make
1. Failing to analyze why they are selling.
2. Not preparing their home for the buyer’s eye.
3. Pricing their homes incorrectly.
4. Selling too hard during showing.
5. Signing a long-term listing agreement without a written performance
guarantee.
6. Making it difficult for buyers to get information on their homes.
7. Failing to obtain a pre-approved mortgage for one’s next home.
