1. Choosing the wrong real estate agentOne possible reason why your home is still languishing on the market is your choice of a real estate agent. Many sellers often make the mistake of choosing someone who promised to get them the highest price or offered the lowest.

Don’t get fooled into thinking that you are getting a better deal by choosing discount real estate service. Only work with an agent who has unquestionable success in dealing with Lake Zoar homes for sale.

2. Not being truly ready to say goodbyeSelling a house is not just a financial transaction, it is also a highly emotional process. After all, you are bidding goodbye to a property that holds so many memories for you and your family.

If you think that you are not yet fully prepared to part with your home, perhaps it will be better to postpone the sale. When you are still emotionally attached to your home, you are in danger of doing things that can sabotage the sale.

3. Overpricing your homePrice is one of the most critical points when selling a house. If your price is unrealistic, you will scare away prospective buyers. You need to know that buyers are more attracted to homes that are priced competitively. Consult with your real estate agent and check the local price listings for your competition.

Look at houses of similar age and square footage that are for sale. Make sure that the price that you will set will make your home seem like a good deal compared with others on the market.

4. Using bad photographs for your online listingMany buyers today begin their hunt for Lake Zoar waterfront homes for sale online. That is why it is very important to use high quality photos that show your home’s best features. Remember that in today’s digital world, you open your home to prospective buyers as soon as you list it online.

The photos that buyers will see will be the first impression they will have of your home. Bad photographs may send buyer looking for other properties. As a seller, your goal is to ensure that your property is open-house-ready even when you’re taking the photos before it officially hits the market.

5. Making inappropriate renovationsAlthough renovations can increase the value of your home, inappropriate ones may turn off-off potential buyers and delay the sale of your home. Most buyers expect the different areas of your home to be just the way they are.

If you’ve turned a bedroom into a home theatre or the garage into a home office, consider returning them to their original purpose. If the buyers don’t look forward to doing these things themselves, they might skip over your home and purchase somewhere else.
