Four Common Mistakes

Not Preparing Your Home To Look Attractive To Buyers.

Your Home in Brevard is competing with many more homes in the Brevard MLS area. Many buyers buy on emotion, not logic. The best marketing program in the world can only bring lots of buyers into your home -- it can't make them like the home.

Signing A Long-Term Listing Without A Written, Specific Performance Guarantee And Easy-Exit Clause.

Don't rely on verbal promises. Make sure that you receive a written promise from a Brevard Realtor stating that you can cancel without charge if the performance is other than what was promised.

Not First Obtaining A Qualified Bank Appraisal And Commitment For Financing From A Home Lender.

For example, how would you feel if your Home in Merritt Island, Florida sold for $335,500 and then you find out from the bank appraiser that the house was worth $367,000? In today's Merritt Island real estate market, this happens often! Your home will have to be appraised by a state licensed bank appraiser sooner or later. Sooner can result in several extra thousands of dollars in your pocket.

Bonus: Buyers are afraid of paying too much for a house or condo. That's why they often make low offers. A certified bank appraisal helps you sell for full price because the buyer can see that the price was established by a professional third party.

Not Obtaining Written Pre-Approval For A New Home Loan For Your New Home.

For instance, nothing is more heartbreaking than to sell your home in Cape Canaveral and find your new dream home in Rockledge, only to find that you can't obtain financing for the dream home in central Brevard.
