So what mistakes should you avoid when you are selling your property? And how to prevent them?

If you avoid the following mistakes, you will be well on your way to selling your property for top dollar.

1) Pricing it Wrong

You want to make sure that you have the right price for your property when it hits the market. Too low, and you could leave thousands of dollars on the table. Too high, and it could sit on the market for months unsold. A real estate agent can help make sure that your property is priced just right to get the right sort of attention immediately.

2) Using Bad Listing Photos

Most buyers find their future property online. That means your pictures need to stand out from the crowd. If your photos look like you took them from your phone, the right type of buyer might just pass you over. Your real estate agent can recommend the right sort of photographer to take the best photos for your property.

3) Trying to Sell Your property Yourself

You might think that selling your home yourself might save you a lot of money on commissions. But what you might not know is that real estate agents, on average, actually can get you more money for your property than you could on your own. In fact, the difference between property sold For Sale By Owner versus sold by an agent more than covers any commission costs.
