WARNING! Biggest Home Seller Mistakes

BIGGEST HOME SELLER MISTAKES SELLERS MAKE WHEN SELLING HOMES IN COLORADO

Survey of 1,000 Real Estate Agents Reveals the Top Six Ways to Sabotage the Sale of Your Home
Denver, Colorado: The most common reasons that a house will not sell in a good market are often well within the control of the home seller, according to a recent survey by the ActiveRain online real estate community. In a poll of over 1,000 real estate agents, it was revealed that the top six ways home sellers turn potential home buyers away are:

1. It isn't easy to set a showing time
2. The seller is unwilling to depersonalize or declutter the home
3. Unpleasant odors
4. The seller is reluctant to negotiate with the buyer
5. The home is overpriced
6. The Seller Refuses to Make Repairs

Brian Burke, a local REALTOR® with Kenna Real Estate Group, confirms that these same findings hold for homes in the Denver Metro area: "It is up to the agent to educate the seller on aspects of the home selling process that can instantly turn off a potential buyer," stated Brian Burke. "However, some sellers get defensive when you point out pets, odors, and housekeeping, so walking is an excellent line!"

Brian Burke reflects on a timeshare, a short horror story about a time when you were showing a home to buyers. Think of an example that addresses one of the home seller mistakes covered in the infographic.

"I wish stories like this weren't common in my work. A good real estate agent spends plenty of time with their sellers before their house ever goes on the market to avoid these expensive mistakes."
