The Biggest Mistakes I See Sellers Make at the Start of the Year header image.

Every year, I see sellers make the same avoidable mistakes — especially early in the year. Pricing too high, skipping prep work, or relying solely on online estimates can cost you time and money.
The most successful sellers I work with take time to prepare their home properly, price it strategically, and market it professionally from day one. Buyers are educated, and first impressions matter more than ever.
If you’re considering selling in 2026, having the right strategy from the start can make all the difference. I’m always happy to walk through your home and help you avoid costly missteps. Call me today to see how I can best serve you!
