How to Avoid These Costly Errors
1. Know Your Home’s True Value: Don’t rely on guesswork or an agent who isn’t familiar with your market.

Choose the Right Agent: • Look for a Realtor with a strong marketing plan, local expertise, and excellent reviews. • Don’t be afraid to ask for references or examples of past successes. 3. Demand a Comprehensive Marketing Strategy: • Online Exposure: Ensure your property is listed on all major real estate platforms with professional photos and a compelling description. • Signage and Local Outreach: A simple yard sign and outreach to local buyers can make a big difference. • Open Houses and Showings: These generate buzz and allow buyers to envision themselves in the space. 4. Stay Involved: • Regularly communicate with your agent to ensure everything is on track. • Don’t hesitate to ask questions or address concerns.
