Selling a home can be an exciting but complex process. As a seasoned Realtor, I’ve seen firsthand how small missteps can lead to major setbacks, whether it’s a home sitting on the market too long or a sale falling through at the last minute. Many sellers enter the process with high hopes, but without the right guidance, they can make decisions that cost them time, money, and peace of mind.To help homeowners navigate the process more smoothly, I’ve outlined some of the most common mistakes home sellers make and, more importantly, how to avoid them.1. Overpricing the Home The Mistake:Setting a high price with the hope of “leaving room to negotiate” is one of the most common seller mistakes. Many sellers assume that pricing the home above market value will yield a higher sale price in the ...

Don’t judge a book by its cover. A phrase that proves spot on more often than not except when it comes to home selling where first impressions matter most above all else. Your curb being the cover in this case, here are a couple of simple pointers to enhance your homes curb appeal:Cut Back Shrubs & TreesTrees and shrubs provide a touch of Mother Nature’s delight to spruce up the simplicity of a modern-day home. However, curb appeal during the summer becomes a problem when there is more tree than house as lush green is meant to complement the architecture not hide it completely. So if your house looks like it's cast in the middle of a jungle, then a little pruning and trimming are in order.
