The mistakes to avoid when you sell

Selling a home takes preparation. Here are three common mistakes, and how to prepare for them.

Setting a price with no point of comparison

A price set out of attachment or from a lack of market knowledge can put buyers off. A comparative market analysis, based on comparable sales and listings, helps set a realistic listing price. It informs the decision; no selling price or timeline can be inferred from it.

Neglecting the presentation

A cluttered home, or one with minor repairs pending, shows less well. Decluttering, cleaning, fixing small flaws and taking care with the photos help buyers picture themselves in the home.

Neglecting the documents

Gathering the documents early (certificate of location, taxes, renovation invoices) avoids delays along the way. Pierre Vinet gives you a tick-list and helps you build the file.

No result can be promised: price, timelines and the number of offers depend on the market and on the parties.
