1. Don’t overprice. It’s the kiss of death.
2. Don’t choose the agent who gives you the highest price and lowest commission. They are just “buying” your listing. See #1 above.
3. Not prepping your property for sale. Clean, de-clutter, paint, landscape, stage the house, etc.
4. Ignoring maintenance and repair items. These will ALWAYS come back to haunt you. It stops buyers from making offers, it kills sales at inspection time, or selling prices are negotiated lower to deal with these issues.
5. Making decisions based on emotions. When your house goes on the market, it has become a commodity and not your home.
6. Listening to the advice of friends and neighbors instead of your agent. Your agent is a professional in the business of selling – your friends are not.

Don’t just take my word for it – see what other people are currently saying.
2/22/12 Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac, VP & Chief Economist -“The US economy continues to build on the momentum from the end of last year. Our outlook anticipates gradual, but steady, improvement in the economy and the housing market, supported by low interest rates and brightening job market prospects.”
2/24/12 Kiplinger.com -By midyear, home prices will finally be poised to begin a slow, but sustained, climb back up, as buyers become convinced that the bottom has been reached
2/28/12 Warren Buffet – Told CNBC that buying single-family homes is such a great investment right now, if it were practical, he’d buy a couple hundred thousand of them. Given how low rates are for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, Buffett said that homes, held over the long term, provide a better investment than stocks. If you factor in that prices in some areas are at a 10-year low and inventory levels are high, the conditions are ideal for buying.
2/28/12 Donald Trump – “Housing is one of the great investments right now. I tell people all the time when they come up to me, they say, “What should I do, Mr. Trump?” I say go buy a house,” said Donald Trump earlier today on CNBC.
