Seller behavior may affect the success or failure of a listing. Some common mistakes made by sellers of NH listings are more damaging than others. Sellers should avoid making the mistakes discussed in this article.

Common Mistakes Made By Sellers Of NH Listings

Not Spending Enough Time on Cleaning

It can be a challenge to keep a property presentable for every showing especially while still using the space. It is critical to spend time cleaning prior to showings and open houses. Buyers may focus on little about a home and more of the mess instead, so not paying attention to cleaning will make your property less desirable. Buyers also make inferences about how well a seller cares for a property based on its cleanliness. Cleaning up helps homes for sale sell faster and for more money.

Inconvenient Showing Instructions

Requesting too much advanced notice for viewings restricts the buyers that can view the property. Another mistake is not granting convenient access to keys. In regions with plenty of inventory, buyers will lean towards homes that are convenient to show. Difficult showing instructions result in fewer opportunities and longer listing time frames.

Being Present During Showings

Home owners may wish to be home during buyer visits, but this can negatively impact things. It may make people feel uncomfortable. Also, extensive conversation with a property owner distracts the attention of a buyer away from the home itself. Buyers prefer to take time to explore a property and to talk openly with one another about what they think. Furthermore, parties talking with one another may cause inferences about motivation and contract terms.

Deciding on Price

Price impacts marketing time and final selling price. Of all the common mistakes made by sellers of NH listings, this one is the biggest. It is typical for sellers to want maximum price from their home. However, overpricing is dangerous. Overpriced properties can remain on the market for longer while correctly priced homes move first. Over time, the listing grows stale and loses momentum. Long marketing time and price drops over time will cause the property to sell for less. Thus, there is traditionally no advantage to overpricing properties. Connect with a real estate agent for an estimated market price and hold off on listing your home if the market values are not acceptable to you.

Selling Independently

Some owners try to sell a property on their own. Even though it is possible, there may be many issues and costly mistakes along the way. Real estate professionals are trained on positioning real estate, being an intermediary, negotiating deals, and promoting the interests of sellers. They also understand changes in the market. Experience can make a big difference, particularly during fluctuating market conditions.

Sellers Are the Key

Sellers play an essential role in the listing of properties. The common mistakes made by sellers of NH listings above are simply a few examples. An experienced listing agent can protect against other marketing pitfalls. For additional tips on this and other related topics, contact Customer Service at 800-639-4405 or info@accuratetitle.com.
