There are hundreds if not thousands of tips and suggestions about selling your home in Fremont. Some are general ones that are found everywhere, but here I am going to discuss the mistakes. By avoiding these mistakes you can have a great experience. Here are some home selling mistakes I've seen sellers make during my career in Fremont:

1. IMPROPER PRICING - Set the price too high and it will sit unsold and develop the identity of a problem property, with the accompanying stigma of what Fremont real estate agents call a "stale listing." On the other hand, price it too low and you may give away thousands in profit to a total stranger. Either way you lose. Setting the appropriate price involves the evaluation of numerous different factors...and it's critical!

2. NOT PROVIDING EASY ACCESS - Accessibility is a major key to a profitable sale. A lock-box is best, while appointment-only showings are extremely restrictive. The more accessible your home, the more showings, and the better the odds are of finding a person willing to pay top dollar. In Fremont's competitive market, buyers who can't get a viewing will go on to other homes, and purchase elsewhere.

3. BAD HOUSEKEEPING- The prospective homebuyer's first impression is the most important. An unbelievable amount of home sales have been lost to uncut lawns, cluttered rooms, bad stains, dirty kitchens and bathrooms, unpleasant odors, etc. Imagine you are the buyer and clean your home from top to bottom...military style. Fremont home buyers will appreciate your efforts.

4. FAILURE TO MAKE REPAIRS - Often even minor improvements will yield as much as three to five times the repair cost at the time of sale. There are literally hundreds of Fremont homes for sale, and buyers buy what they see. Seemingly small fix-up jobs can make the difference between a closed sale at top dollar and a home that languishes on the market for months on end.

5. POOR SHOWING TECHNIQUES - Your home should be neat and clean, but that's just the beginning. There are lots of little details that make a big difference. Knowing exactly what to say and do when buyers come through your home is crucial.

6. RELYING ONLY ON TRADITIONAL SALES METHODS - Sellers who are innovative and willing to offer new strategies of attracting Fremont homebuyers will always outperform those who rely on traditional methods. Fremont's market demands around the clock advertising exposure, and response-generating marketing techniques to stand out from the others.

7. MAKING SELLING DECISIONS BASED ON EMOTION- You must realize that selling your Fremont home is a dollars and cents business transaction. Don't let your emotional ties to your home affect your judgment. Remember, purchasers are not buying your home; they are buying a house to make into their home.

8. FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND FREMONT MARKET CONDITIONS - Just like the stock market, there are current market conditions for houses as determined by supply and demand. Many buyers shop dozens of homes comparing values, so it is very difficult to find a buyer willing to pay more than current market value. No single person, firm, or agent has any control over the market!

9. WASTING TIME WITH UNQUALIFIED PROSPECTS - Countless hours of valuable time can be wasted showing and negotiating with "buyers" who can't buy no matter how much they love your house. Buyers should be "pre-approved" for a loan before you begin dealing with them.

10. PICKING THE WRONG FREMONT REAL ESTATE AGENT - The vast majority of all homes are sold by real estate agents, but all agents are not the same - not even close. The agent's experience, knowledge, and marketing plan can have a huge impact on your success. Signing up with the right agent can make all the difference in the world.
