legal fees, prorated taxes, and possibly paying for inspections. Know your numbers. 13. Spending the Buyer’s Earnest Money That earnest money isn’t yours until the ink is dry. Keep it safe, or you might end up in court. Another reason to use an
agent—they’ll hold it in escrow. 14. Forgetting to Transfer Utilities
Don’t ghost your electric company. Notify utilities and insurance providers the minute you’re under contract. You don’t want to be
paying for someone else’s hot showers. 15. Letting Emotions Run the Show
Inspections will turn up issues. Don’t freak out. Be ready to negotiate. But also, don’t overpromise on repairs unless you’re financially and emotionally ready to follow through. Bottom Line Sell your home like a pro, not like it’s your first heartbreak. Keep your cool. Price smart. Choose the right team. And,..... Don’t sabotage your sale with rookie mistakes. You’ve come too far for that.
