#1. Overpricing it. The longer it sits on the market the less someone is willing to pay. This has been proven by the data. Pricing high never works.
#2. Not taking the time and effort to get your home looking its best before bringing it to the market.
#3. Hiring an inexperienced broker. I have a friend in the business. Does your friend sell 50 homes a year? If so great! If not move on.
#4. Hiring a discount broker. You get what you pay for.
#5. Pricing it with a cushion to negotiate.
#6. Hiring the broker that gives you the highest price. The first rule as a seller is to always question the broker who comes in with a price 5%+ more than the others. Ask them to see the comparables and explain their thinking. Many times, the agent that comes in with a price that is much higher than the others is someone who is trying to buy the listing.
