The 5 costliest mistakes to avoid when selling your home (watch out for #3)!

Not approving showings. Let’s face it - selling your home can be an inconvenience and inconvenient showings come with the territory. Remember this is just a small slice of your life, the showings won’t last forever
Skipping the cleaning and decluttering. You are used to all your “stuff” but to a buyer, a dirty and cluttered home is a major distraction. Clean and cleared surfaces are attractive and give buyers confidence about the quality and value of your home.
Overpricing the market. You hired your agent for their professional guidance. If they tell you your home is worth $400,000 don’t insist on listing it for $500,000. That unicorn buyer (the one that will overpay for your home) is not out there.
Skipping major repairs and offering a “credit” instead. Carpet credits or painting credits don’t really work. As a rule of thumb if a repair or replacement costs you $1000 the buyer will want $1500 as a credit. Put your best foot forward and you will be rewarded with top dollar for your home.
Not listening to the market. If your feedback is consistently the same: the price is too high, buyers don’t like the shag carpet or the cigarette smell is a turn-off. Listen! These are your customers and not adjusting to their feedback is a mistake.
