As a home seller, you have three goals—to sell your home for the highest sum in the shortest time with the least effort. But if you make either of the following mistakes, your home will take longer to sell and for less money.

1.      You may decide on the FSBO (for sale by owner) route to avoid paying real estate professional fees, but you’ll attract bargain-hunters and house-flippers who also want to shave off agent fees by dealing directly with the seller. FSBOs are notorious for “testing the market” at too-high prices and making the fewest repairs and improvements.

2.      Or, you may list your home with a professional, but refuse to follow their advice by pricing your home too high or declining to get your home in market-ready pristine condition.

Your Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network professional offers a worldwide network of colleagues and qualified homebuyers. Their data helps you prepare your home to appeal to today’s homebuyers and list it for the best price and quickest sale possible.
