Sellers who price to what they feel the home is worth — rather than what comparable sales support — routinely sit longer on market and end up accepting a lower price than if they'd priced accurately from day one.

Small, inexpensive fixes (a leaking faucet, chipped paint, a broken fixture) create an outsized impression of neglect and give buyers a reason to lowball or walk.

Buyers make a go/no-go decision within seconds of the listing photos — sellers who list before decluttering, staging or fixing lighting lose showings before anyone walks through the door.

Sellers who don't calculate agent commissions, transfer taxes, payoff amounts and closing costs in advance are sometimes surprised at closing by how much less they actually walk away with.

Listing at the wrong time of year — or the wrong week relative to local inventory swings — can mean weeks of extra time on market for reasons that had nothing to do with the home itself.
