10 Mistakes Sellers Make While Selling Their Homes: Mistake 7: Over-Spending on Renovations -... Do not undertake a major renovation project. This could end up costing you more money than you can recover from the sale of the home. With that said, things like the roof or anything to do with safety should be repaired before the sale of your home. - Contact me ([email protected]) for more information on how you can sell your home. #vancouverrealtor #yvr #realestate #vancouverrealestate #sellers #buyers #market #realtor

10 Mistakes Sellers Make While Selling Their Homes: Mistake 6: Not Staging an Empty House -... To bring in the highest possible price, you must stage your home. By staging your home, you are dressing your house up and allowing buyers to visualize and imagine themselves living in it. Through strategically placed furniture, you’re optimizing the space and showing buyers what each room can be used for. - I highly recommend that you look to your local stager to give your home a look that will charm your potential buyers. - Contact me ([email protected]) for more information on how you can sell your home. #vancouverrealtor #vancouverrealestate #homeowner #homebuyer #seller #market #yvr

10 Mistakes Sellers Make While Selling Their Homes: Mistake 5: Neglecting Essential Repairs - ... As a seller, you should take the time to repair the small things. This means fixing a leaky faucet, re-caulking the bathtubs and showers, mending holes in walls, painting, etc. - It is more cost-efficient to spend the money and time to get these repaired beforehand rather than having to deduct costs from your sale price. It will also make your home look more appealing to a buyer. - Contact me ([email protected]) for more information on how you can sell your home. #vancouverrealtor #realtor #Vancouver #homeowner #homebuyer #seller #mortgagebroker #sold

10 Mistakes Sellers Make While Selling Their Homes: Mistake 4: Not Recognizing the Impact of a Smelly House I cannot stress how important this is. Please avoid cooking foods with strong smells before showings. What smells delicious to you, may not tickle the taste buds of your potential buyers. Statistics show that citrus scents are appealing and can help leave a positive impression.... If your pet uses a litter box, clean up the mess and store the box in a low-traffic area while the house is being shown. Ensure that you take out the garbage or empty the Diaper Guinee as well. To take it a step further, open your windows to air the place out before and between showings.

10 Mistakes Sellers Make While Selling Their Homes: Mistake 3: Selling Without a Professional Surveys show that self-sellers are much more likely to net less from the sale of their home than sellers who use an agent. You may think that you are cutting costs by trying to do sell it yourself, but the numbers don’t lie.... Not only will it take longer to sell without an agent, but you will also have to do market your listing and negotiate the sale on your own. By hiring a full-service realtor you are giving yourself access to comprehensive online and offline marketing, staging, negotiation skills, and an exclusive network of resources.
