Top 21 Mistakes to Avoid When Selling Your Home

Thank you very much for such valuable information. This video has been an invaluable resource. I hope it helps many as much as it has helped us.

I learn nothing

Nauseous gay

I painted a portion of my hallway in my condominium Miss Go Litely, turquoise type color and I installed a cute little cream molding across the top, it is a featured wall with pretty art decor & yellow cabinet, colorful decorative rug. The rest of my place is a Conservative, sea salt pale grey that looked green but is pale grey with green tone. Everyone loves it. It is beautiful. I might do a little wallpapering in the forrier or bay window area, or the back bedroom, I'm applying a beautiful "tiled" wall paper to the base of my peninsula, up my side wall & stove backsplash. My taste is exceptional, so even if somebody doesn't care for something, I don't see them not wanting the property because the upgrades are hard to pass up & who's going to pass on non-taste versus no inventory or dumps!?! I think what matters is effort, if people see an owner cared about a place, that is what is going to stand out!!! Not that I didn't paint exactly to THEIR demands. An owner should have the right to enjoy their property to at least some extent. I don't agree to having to paint it to appease others, unless it's really bad, offensive, but cosmetic stuff is to be expected for the buyer to change up once they are in the place. That's my OP an being a house I know houses!!! 🏡💟☺️

Noise in background is very annoying

I am somewhat suspicious of heavily computer enhanced pictures.

I have to laugh on the subject of cleaning when you leave your home. The house we have our eye on is similar to our current house (mid century home in serious need of restoration) We will have completed our restoration (restoration, not remodel) when we list our house. But, our next house is a complete disaster. Nothing has been done for literally DECADES, including simple cleaning. It is pretty awful We are not put off by this because we really enjoy old home restoration. But, it has been on the market for almost a year at this point because of this very issue. It's filthy, smells awful and so no one is willing to take on the mess.

Just happened in my neighborhood, one worked hard remodeled himself, sold in a day for $420,000. Around the corner, same square footage, he did no improvements, sold for $430,000! The other guy was disappointed because he did all that work and got 10k less! You never know!

I don't want an agent I want what I want for my house.thats all that matters.

Thank you, Marine. Great information. Semper Fi.

Hi Andrew!😊We have ended up in difficult situation selling the house. The realtor was insisting on an narrow customer niche , did not handle neither the water body / river as a part of the property as the buyer insisted on their own inspections obtaining flood insurance nor she could not handle assessors unit which used to be for our close family only but could be rented out as the law changed just before the house went on sale.

This was a very educational video, thank you!👍

We’ve bought and sold 3 homes with the worst realtors who did NOTHING but open the door. Last sell, I INSISTED I wasn’t leaxving and stayed out of the way packing up a garage, pleasantly saying if there was anything I could help with , just ask…….THEY did….and the brought objections, which I made suggestions for easy solutions for. I was able to explain the makeup of the neighborhood and why we’d loved it, etc. THAT was the showing that SOLD! Our last buying exp. WE found the listing ourselves, the agent met us to open it and walk around w/us……saying NOTHING. Even when there was an opportunity for her to make a good suggestions, even when there was clear chance to ask if we had s y concerns, could we see ourselves living there, would our furniture fit……yadda yadda….sales BASICS!! I believe many realtors don’t TRY to sell other agents listings …if there is any chance they can double dip on one of their own. FSBO this time for us. BE THERE…unobtrusively. Put on your nicest appearance and kept a bright smile on your face at all times. PEOPLE WANT THINGS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE IF THEY VIEW YOU as more successful or affable then they may be. I was able to engage the buyer on a motorcycle we were selling…’imagine’ coming up your drive after a nice long ride!’ I actually offered to include it in a full price offer…which they gave us but didn’t ask! 🤔. There is no replacement for interacting with owners when they polished , pleasant, and can tell buyer (if they ask) what they loved about living there w/o being pushy. Just a nice conversation.

Hey, I like you! How can I list a review of a highly unethical realtor we got stuck using via inescapable contract - she literally poached a buyer another agent had shown the home thst morning…..as well as numerous other shady things …can they sue y9u for liable of anything?

man....this is so much information......I don't know if I want to sell my home now. I am just not ready.....

Why would someone want me to sign a contract before they send an inspector to check out my house and property?

I tried to give my neighbor this advice that I learned from you and my agent friend Kim . Kim did all this as you advance se, and got me top dollar, and I wanted to see my neighbor friend do the same. Sadly, the neighbor just sold it FSBO , and now they have flipped it with inexpensive renovation and it’s now on market for 40% more than she sold it for. She could have done those small things you advise and at least gotten 15% more. Excellent advice, Andrew!

your information is really good BUT please slow down a bit we all need to digest what youre talking about.

Billions of people, lol.

@Andrew potential buyers have told me to NOT even consider staging my condo I will sell shortly because they want a clean empty slate to imagine how THEIR stuff would work there. What say yee?

A full 70% of humans have negative sensitivities/allergies to artificial fragrance. Never ever use febreeze, plugins or perfume or scented sprays. Diffuse an organic oil in a diffuser. Skip the rest or what you think smells good will prevent someone like me from even viewing your home.

Good information

Goddam ur a good writer

Great Video! I'm an agent and this was helpful for many! Thank you for sharing.

Do not be home when buyers coming to see your home, don't even let them see you. Be out 1/2 hour before they are scheduled to arrive. Remove all personal pictures. Best tip is to pack up 75% of your stuff and store it prior to showing, make room in your closets and shelves.

That is by far one of the best and honest video out there
Straight forward and all information you need !

FANTASTIC VIDEO! My only criticism is that the noise in the background is very distracting and annoying.

Your videos are very helpful - wish you were in my state.

This was soooo helpful as a first time homeowners who is currently selling. Thank you!

great advice. right to the point. still relevant

Thank you Andrew, very informative and helpful. Again, thank you. I plan on doing what you have suggested.

I love your authenticity! makes this video so much better. GREAT CONTENT!

This ended up being extremely helpful. Thank you so much

Matt Damon?

Great video and tips. 🙏💕 Thank you... You win a new subscriber.🙋🏼‍♀️

Thank you! Maybe my husband will listen to you since he would listen to me🤗

Truly a very helpful video for the one who is on a way to sell the home. Thank you for sharing.

Always clean, concise, to the point, extremely knowledgeable, humble, and entertaining!

Really good objective analysis, thank you for your hard work! Very professional

Yes the pictures can be rather horrible online.

Wow

Not in Silicon Valley no matter what will sell 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow the amount of knowledge you spread is unbelievable. Thanks Andrew.

Very good explanation thank you so much

My husband and i thought we found our dream home on zillow. When we visited it, the sellers were home, along with about 20 large dogs. Needless to say we didn't stay long and ended up finding a different home.

Wow, this was SO much helpful information. I'm picking up my clipboard and doing a walk-through of my house to see what needs attention. Thanks for helping us draft a game plan!

Get my new condo in 3 weeks - I appreciate your candid presentation for BOTH buyers and sellers. I am doing a 20k remodel. Seller did nothing to fix up the place and walls avocado and pink - uh huh.. The place next door (identical view / layout) WAS cleaned up. I told seller either drop the price to my price or I am buying next door which is move in ready. She did. Your points in your videos are honest - even if not always easy to hear from BOTH buyer / seller perspective.

Another really good video - thanks a lot!

You talk way to fast.

This verification of buyers is very important what I have run across Buyers Agent won't do and get mad when I ask for it. But as a buyer 2x's i had my doc in order and ready to proof i had the funding in place and so should a buyer b 4 coming in my home for sale I love your videos keep them up you speak reality subscribed
