Want to buy a Wilmington Home? Search all homes for sale.
Today I'd like to discuss four home selling mistakes that I see a lot of sellers here in Wilmington falling victim to.
The first mistakes I see sellers making is the attempt at selling their own homes. Selling a home is a full-time job that requires skills in marketing, negotiation, and sales. Using a real estate agent can often net you more money, and you don't even have to do the work!
Another mistake I see happening is when people set their home in the wrong price range. Pricing is more of an art than a science, and it's what Realtors are trained to do. We take comparable listings, recent sales, and other market data when we're trying to decide the correct price for a home. A home's price is by far the biggest piece of advertising and marketing.
Using bad photography is another obstacle for sellers. Photography is now more important than ever because people are going online to look at homes. You need your home to stand out from the other hundreds that are viewable on websites, and one way to do this is to take stellar photos of your home that showcase all of its benefits.
The last piece of advice is probably something you haven't been recommended before. I always suggest my sellers get a pre-listing home inspection. This allows you to proactively repair your home, and you can provide this home inspection to your buyer to give them peace of mind. This can allow you to ask for a premium price if your home is in good condition.
If you have any other questions for me as you attempt to sell your Wilmington home, please don't hesitate to contact me!
