Selling your home is a big decision, and doing it right makes all the difference. Since 2017, I’ve helped homeowners throughout Snohomish and North King County avoid the pitfalls that can cost time and money. As one of the top agents in my office, I bring the local knowledge and strategy you need to sell with confidence. Here are five mistakes I help sellers steer clear of:
1. Overpricing from the Start
Aiming high might seem smart, but setting the wrong price can lead to fewer showings and long days on market. I use hyper-local data and real-time buyer insights to position your home where it will get attention, without leaving money on the table.
2. Making the Wrong Upgrades
Not all improvements add value. Some updates impress buyers, while others go unnoticed. I help you focus on what buyers in our market actually care about so your investment pays off.
3. Overlooking Small Repairs
Little things like chipped paint or a leaky faucet may seem minor but can raise red flags. I’ll help you walk through your home like a buyer would and create a list of easy fixes that make a big difference.
4. Being Too Rigid in Negotiations
Buyers today want value and are willing to negotiate. Whether it’s price, timelines, or credits, I’ll help you stay flexible while protecting your bottom line.
5. Choosing the Wrong Agent
Who you hire matters. With years of full-time experience and hundreds of homes toured and sold, I go beyond the basics. You’ll get strategic pricing, strong marketing, clear communication, and trusted representation from start to finish.
