** How To Make Sure Your Home Won't Sell! **
|
|
|
|
- Your home smells of smoke, cat or dog urine - anywhere.
- Your kitchens and bathrooms have not been updated since the 1970's.
- Clutter, dirty clothes, unwashed dishes, or unmade beds are evident.
- Your home shows an obvious lack of upkeep and maintenance.
|
|
|
|
- You price it higher than the market analysis suggests and say, "Bring me an offer".
- When listing, you choose the Realtor that presents the highest opinion of value because the high price makes you feel good.
- You receive more than one offer from different buyers on separate occasions producing nearly the identical price, yet refuse ti re-evaluate your price.
- You have no strategy or "game plan" if no offers are presented.
|
|
|
|
- You demand your listing agent be present while other Realtors show the home.
- You demand that in lieu of a lock box the key to your home must be obtained from your listing Realtor's office.
- You make it impossible to agree on a time for the agent to show it.
- During the showing you keep your barking dog in the house.
- During the showing you insist on following the Realtor and customer around the home when the home is being shown.
- During the showing you "pre" negotiate with the Realtors that come to show your home by engaging in conversatons about your home.
|
|
|
|
- You approach the negotiating process with a "win-lose" attitude for all parties.
- You tag the buyers and their Realtor as the "bad guys".
- You do not share your selling strategy or future personal plans in regards to the sale of the home with your listing agent.
- While negotiating you stand on "principal", losing sight of your goal to sell the house.
