• Spending earnest money — If the sale falls through, what happens to the money? • Befriending potential buyers — Discretion is imperative when buyers want to be your friend. • Fear of low appraisals — You have options if this happens. • Stress of showings, remodels, cleaning, phone calls — Let your agent handle the bulk of the responsibilities of selling your home. • Facing inspection requirements — Know what is expected for your home to pass. • Being prepared for closing — Your agent and your attorney should let you know what to expect. • Flexibility and readiness to show your home — Make preparations, so showings do not interfere with your family and your life. • Letting buyers see your home in your absence — Buyers prefer to view homes without the seller present to listen to their critiques. Any questions should be fielded by your agent. • Weeding out non-qualified buyers — You can request that only qualified home buyers view your home. If they are not eligible, even for creative financing, it’s a waste of everyone’s time — especially yours.
