How Not To Sell a House

We often rant about real estate in Lebanon Oregon and ways to help you sell your home at a great price. Here a few of the big mistakes people make when looking to sell a home or get a good offer. Many of these are simply common sense items, but they are the most common ones for some reason.

A. Going in without a plan - This is the biggest problem when people want to accomplish any goal, and selling a home is certainly no small goal. When you finally decide that you want your home to be sold, know what price range you will be willing to take, the way you will be advertising your property, and how long you expect it to be on the market before reconsidering your game plan. The homes that are on the market for years upon years are the ones that are missing one of these key steps and are stuck in a rut going nowhere fast.

B. Not bringing in help - Real estate agents can sometimes be a bit pricey in the long run, but the good ones that know your local market and have been in the business for a long time can provide you with valuable tips and ways the help you sell your home faster. Remember, they have the same goal as you, and although they may want to sell your home at a faster rate, they still want to help you sell it.

C. Not having enough Open Houses - Sometimes biting the bullet and making your home available for an open house on a great weekend is what you have to do to make your home easier to sell. Most people would rather have their open houses in the middle of the workweek, but not everyone can accomodate those plans, and you have to find ways to get everyone interested the opportunity to take a look at your home. If there is anyone in particular you know that is interested, make special arrangements for them to look at your home, and always ask your agent their opinion before opening up your home.
