A great deal of the effort and elbow-grease that goes into adequately preparing your home for sale falls to you as the home owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So here\u2019s 4 things you might be doing as a seller that hurt your SALE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Overpricing<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color wp-block-paragraph\">You may very well be entitled to think your house is the best in the area and should have a high price attached. But in order to do that, you need to know how it stacks up against other local comparable properties, or else your overpriced home can be huge turnoff for potential buyers.<br> You may want to price a tad bit above comparable properties, but don\u00b4t be tempted to do by  to much. We are extremely knowledgeable about our location, what\u00b4s been sold and at what price.

But selling your home<em>&nbsp;solo<\/em>, without an agent to save the commission, can actually work against you. When you list your own home for sale it\u2019s called a \u2018For Sale By Owner\u2019 (FSBO) listing. Without the professional help of an established agent or agency that can put your property out there via powerful websites, social media and all the established property search engines ( Place in the Sun, Rightmove, Kyero etc.)  you\u2019ll have to market it yourself. That is a recipe for disaster if you\u2019re inexperienced, not to mention all the legal paperwork issues that go on behind every sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Over Saturation<\/strong> <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a common misconception to think the more estate agents you have marketing your property the quicker it will sell. Why wouldn&#8217;t it? There are only so many ways an estate agent can market your property the most effective of which are what as known as property portals. You&#8217;ll more than likely know Rightmove and Place in the Sun but there are a lot more. If you are on with 5-7 agents,  as many are, your property often at different prices and with more or less same pictures ends up on these. Potential buyers trawling through viewing options in advance of a visit get very confused by this  and will often feel a desperation sale is afoot.  If putting your property up for sale the far more effective way is to give to one &#8211; maximum 2 estate agents. Those who provide the most extensive marketing tools and have been established\/ built up a good reputation in the areas they cover. If opting for the latter pick 2 agents who promote to different markets e.g. one may have a very strong UK based client base the other a Belgian one.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calidahomespropconsult.com\/blog\/2019\/thinking-of-putting-your-property-up-for-sale-then-why-choose-calida-homes.html\">To see what we provide for our owners click here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.calidahomespropconsult.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_20190611_115135.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calidahomespropconsult.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_20190611_115135.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.calidahomespropconsult.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_20190611_115135-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.calidahomespropconsult.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_20190611_115135-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you stopped to consider that the way you\u2019re going about selling your home is what can keep it sitting on the market for a long time?
