#1- Overpricing their homeThis is the all time worst thing you can do in the marketing of your home. Home prices should be dictated by recentcomparable sales, not pipedreams. You must be realistic or else you will not accomplish your goal of making a move.Home buyers are very well educated on fair market value and if a home is priced beyond the point of reason, they willreject it without even viewing it.

values and work in conjunction with that real estate agent to properly price your Western MA home.

#2- Showing availablitySelling your home is not about your convenience, it is about the buyer’s availability and schedule. When I am showinghomes to buyers, often we are viewing a series of 8 or more homes and have a limited schedule. If you can’taccomodate the buyer’s time constraints, it is likely that the buyer will never view your home and will buy one of theothers. Be prepared to find a way to let buyers see your home when they request to see it.

#3- Cluttered spaceStaging your Western MA home is a major factor in getting a buyer to submit an offer. When a buyer tours the house theywant to be able to assess the space and the structure of the home, not your personal items. Think of your home as aretail space and dress it out like a Pottery Barn or Crate and Barrel and you will come out on top.

#4- Unpleasant odors

#5- Seller being unwilling to negotiate

#6- Seller being unwilling to make repairs
