Here are the Top 10 Mistakes in Preparing Your Home for Sale

1. Neglecting repairs and maintainance - so important! Buyers don't want 

to see a list of things THEY will need to fix or repair once they move in.

2. Not depersonalizing - too many personal photos and items 

can sometimes make it hard to a buyer to picture themselves in the home

3. Not removing odors - those first impressions are important! 

4. Refusing to disconnect emotionally - this is a tough one! Its your home, your 

memories, and there may be things about your home you love, but buyers will not.

5. Spot cleaning versus Q-tip cleaning

6. Not showing a rooms proper function

7. Not having enough light - rooms should be bright!

8. Not investing money in updates - this one can be tricky! But we can help! Give us a call and let us help you determine which renovations and updates are right for your home!

9. Ignoring professional advice - we have the experience and 

knowledge and are here to help you!

10. Listing before staging and renovations - the first few weeks on the market are crucial - have your home ready to go BEFORE listing so you don't miss out on those first important weeks of buyer excitement and showings!
