The #1 Mistake Home Sellers Make (And How It Costs Them Thousands!)

The truth is… most home sellers don’t lose money because of the market. They lose money because of a decision they didn’t even know they were making.

Here it is: pricing your home wrong from day one.

If you price behind the market—hoping buyers will “make an offer anyway”—you’ll sit, you’ll wait, and you’ll end up chasing the market down. Price cuts attract bargain hunters, not serious buyers. It’s like putting out a “garage sale” sign on your biggest asset.

If you price ahead of the market—trying to squeeze out every penny—you’ll scare away motivated buyers who think you’re unrealistic. Meanwhile, your golden window of interest (the first 10–21 days) closes, and your leverage slips away.

But if you price at the market—with strategy, not guesswork—you create competition. Competition creates urgency. Urgency creates top-dollar offers. And that’s where sellers win.

The best part? A strategic price doesn’t mean you “settle.” It means you play chess while everyone else is playing checkers. And in this market, you can’t afford to gamble with your nest egg.

If you’re thinking of selling in the next 6–12 months, let’s talk. I’ll show you how to position your home so it doesn’t just sell—it sells for maximum money, with minimum stress.

The truth is… every home only gets one chance to make the right first impression. Whether it’s pricing, timing, or marketing—getting it wrong can cost you thousands. Getting it right can change everything.
