Home Inspection Helper

More home sellers, in an attempt to better control negotiations, are investing in pre-inspection, which allows for repairs (or full disclosure of repairs needed) before listing.

A home inspector will carefully examine the property and then prepare a written report that describes the construction of the home and the working condition of all its systems. Many inspectors will also include digital photographs of defects.

Seven Costly Mistakes Sellers Make

There are plenty of pitfalls before you seal the deal
By M. Anthony Carr

There are always appropriate steps to investing in real estate and hopefully, you've garnered many of them right on these pages. However, there are also inappropriate steps sellers can walk down when it comes time to put their house on the market.

For instance, the seller in Virginia, who thought the half bath the builder had located at the front of the house would really be better situated toward the back of the main level (though all the other similar models had the powder room in the same place for the previous 20 years). He got hung up on this detail so much, that he just had to move it -- and did -- for thousands of dollars, just so he could get it on the market the "right way." His hang-up may have settled some deep-seated emotional need for him, but it didn't draw any more buyers, and it drained his bottom line. You might say, that was a costly mistake.

Real estate broker and author Sid Davis has identified in his book "A Survival Guide to Selling a Home," another seven costly mistakes that many sellers make when it comes time to put their home on the market. In my business, I've seen each one of these mistakes played out and it just makes me shake my head as to why, sellers forge ahead with unwise strategies, instead of listening to the voice of an experienced professional.
