Seller Myths vs Reality

Myth #1: “We should price high and see what happens.”

Reality:
Overpricing can limit early interest, especially if you are already in a less active price point — the most important window when buyers are watching closely. Homes priced accurately from the start typically attract stronger interest and better outcomes than those that need price reductions later.

Myth #2: “The market will sell it no matter what.”

Reality:
Even in active markets, buyers are selective. Presentation, pricing, and marketing matter more than ever. Well-prepared homes that are positioned correctly stand out; others get skipped. 

Myth #3: “I need to renovate before selling.”

Reality:
Most sellers don’t need major renovations. Strategic improvements, thoughtful presentation, and clear guidance often deliver better returns than large, costly projects. 

Myth #4: “Every offer means we should respond quickly.”

Reality:
Timing and terms matter just as much as price. Taking the time to review conditions, possession dates, and buyer strength can protect your bottom line and reduce risk.

Myth #5: “All REALTORS® do the same thing.”

Reality:
The difference is in strategy, communication, and execution. Accurate pricing, strong negotiation, magazine-worthy presentation, and proactive guidance can significantly impact both the sale price and the overall experience. 

Myth #6: “If it doesn’t sell right away, something must be wrong.”

Reality:
Market response varies. When adjustments are needed, data and buyer feedback guide the next steps — not panic or guesswork. Pricing correctly and stand-out presentation are key factors in selling a home with the average days on market window.
