Mistakes You Can Avoid

Resist The Temptation!

Out of a desire to sale their Hilton Head home, villa or condo, sellers might be tempted to make some of these mistakes to sale their luxury home quicker. By developing a trust relationship with all my clients, your Hilton Head Island home will be portrayed in the most positive light and “attract” the largest pool of qualified buyers. It is recommended you avoid these mistakes in order to sale your Hilton Head home for maximum value and do it in a timely manner. Here is a list of avoidable mistakes:

Select the wrong Realtor who advises you to price your Hilton Head property the absolute highest price, even if recent comparable home sales data offers a far different fair market value. Pricing your home to high will deflate the excitement homes enjoy during the first 4 to 6 weeks the property first hits the market.
Overlook creating immaculate curb appeal. In the current competitive market, your luxury home or villas should look it’s absolute finest. Failure to create gorgeous curb appeal will cause prospects to keep driving past your property. These areas are critical;

Manicured and edged lawn.
Trim the shrubs.
Spruce up the flowerbed – add some color.
Power-wash the driveway, sidewalk and exterior siding.
Failure to make all nagging repairs including items like broken fixtures and non-working receptacles will convey a negative view of the overall property condition.
Allow children’s toys to litter the lawn.
The entrance fails to convey a warm invitation to prospects to come inside for a closer look.

Make sure your pets are free to roam your property and “greet” prospects when they tour your home. Unfortunately, some seller’s make the mistake of leaving food and water bowls out for all to see and “smell”
Make sure your home has that “lived-in look” with the curtains drawn, cobwebs in the corners and dust “bunnies” under foot.
