Believing You Are Powerless To Make A Difference:
Don’t be a spectator in your own transaction: take an active role with your agent to see what you can do to facilitate your sale. Networking with professional peers and personal friends has frequently resulted in the sale of a home. In fact, you may be surprised how often homes are sold simply by word-of-mouth.

10 Most Common Listing Mistakes-#9
Missing an Opportunity by Testing The Market:
Never put your property up for sale unless you are serious about selling. If you’re motivated enough, the right real estate professional will find you buyers. If you are flirting with indecision, however, you may just blow the sale.

10 Most Common Listing Mistakes-#7
Failing to Make Necessary Cosmetic Changes:
As you’re undoubtedly aware, the prospective homebuyer's first impression is all-important in the sales process. An inconceivable amount of home sales have been lost to unkempt lawns, cluttered rooms, bad stains, and unpleasant odors, all seemingly minor blemishes that ultimately spoiled a buyer’s motivation. The easiest way to avoid this costly error is to imagine that you are the homebuyer and clean your place from top to bottom.

Neglecting to Provide Easy Access For Showings:
Accessibility is a major key to profitability. "Appointment only" showings are obviously the most restrictive, while a lock box is the least. However, there are certain considerations to take into account, such as your lifestyle, time frame for the desired sale and the strength of your relationship with your agent. The more accessible your home, the better the odds of your finding a person willing to pay your asking price. And by developing a trusting relationship with your agent, he or she will show the home with your best interests in mind.
