The Homepie EDGE | Part 4: Common Seller Pitfalls to Avoid

The Homepie EDGE | Part 4: Common Pitfalls to Avoid

 

The FSBO journey can be a rewarding but demanding experience. Understanding and proactively avoiding common mistakes is key to success.

1. Wrong Pricing: Avoid overpricing by doing a proper CMA and using Homepie's AVM tool.

2. Poor Marketing: Use professional-quality photos and list on the MLS through Homepie's PRO package to gain maximum exposure.

3. Compromising Safety: Never show your home alone and use Homepie's showing scheduler to manage appointments efficiently.

4. Misunderstanding Commissions: The majority of buyers still use an agent. It's still a widespread recommendation to offer a buyer agent commission that is fair and aligns with other sellers in your market. State in your listing that you will pay a buyer's agent commission to avoid shrinking your buyer pool.

5. Getting Bogged Down by Paperwork: Utilize Homepie's automatic contract generation and consider Homepie's Transaction Coordination to ensure all legal documents and disclosures are handled properly.

6. Failing to Pre-qualify Buyers: Ask for proof of pre-qualification from a mortgage lender to ensure you are dealing with serious buyers.

By leveraging the right tools and information, a seller can confidently take control of their sale, mitigate common risks, and achieve a successful outcome.
