1. Looking though rose-colored glasses.

Most of us dream of improving our lifestyle and moving to a larger home. The problem is that there's sometimes a discrepancy between our hearts and our wallets. You drive by a home that you fall in love with only to find that it's already sold or that it’s more than what you are willing to pay. Most homeowners get caught in this hit or miss strategy of home searching when there's a much easier way of going about it. For example, all Help-U-Sell full service, full time Realtors offer a Home Buyer System that will put you in home that fits your needs and wants. This program cross-matches your criteria with ALL available homes that are on market.

2. Failing to make necessary repairs and improvements.

If you want to get best price for Ann Arbor area home you're selling, there will certainly be things you can do to enhance it and make it more desirable. These repairs and improvements do not necessarily have to be expensive. But even if you do have to make a minor investment, it will often come back to you ten-fold in price you are able to get when you sell. It's very important that these improvements be made before you put your home on market. If cash is tight, investigate an equity loan that you can repay on closing.
