Mistake #4: Trying to Sell to “Window Shoppers”
Everyone who comes into your open house is not a prospective buyer. As a matter of fact, most individuals who attend your showing are not ready to buy. A good real estate agent will be able to distinguish between a “window shopper” and a real interested buyer. Trying hard to sell to the wrong people is very inefficient and time consuming. This will result in missed opportunities to focus your attention on real interested buyers.
Mistake #5: Signing a Contract with Your Agent with No Escape
Hopefully you take your time to pick the right real estate agent to represent you. However, as we can relate, circumstances sometimes do in fact change. Before signing a contract with your agent, make sure you are not bound to that realtor in anyway. You should know the exact terms of the contract, so in circumstances where you want to find another agent, you can easily do so without any harsh penalties.
Mistake #6: Ineffective Marketing and Advertising
Your real estate agent should have the experience to employ the necessary marketing techniques to help sell your condo. Today, information technology and the internet are the number one means to attract prospective buyers. When searching for an agent, make sure they have the necessary skills and resources to use the internet effectively to attract buyers. Otherwise, you will risk your home being on the market longer than it should be.
