Price competitively from the beginning. Do not hesitate to reevaluate your local market. Work with your real estate agent to determine the
fair market value of your home. OTHER SELLERS’ MISTAKES
Here’s a list of “don’ts” to help people avoid the pitfalls of an otherwise-successful sale: Selling Before Getting Qualified Yourself Entering a contract to sell your home before you get qualified to buy another is problematic. Your financial circumstances may have changed since your last purchase, and you might not be able to qualify for a loan, or you might not be able to sell at a price that allows you to buy the type of replacement house you want. You could end up renting or buying something that was far from ideal. Before you decide to sell the house, get preapproved by a lender you trust and research the housing market in the area where you wish to live so that you have a good idea how much it will take to buy a replacement. Make plans in case you need to move right away.
