Selling your home can be both exciting and overwhelming. It’s often one of your biggest financial transactions—so it’s no surprise that homeowners want to get it right. Yet, there are a few common mistakes that can cost time, money, and peace of mind during the selling process.
At Zest Home Staging, we’ve seen these pitfalls time and again, and we’re here to help you sidestep them with confidence. Here are the top 5 mistakes sellers make (and how to avoid them):
1. Overpricing the Property
The Mistake: It’s natural to want to achieve the best selling price, but pricing emotionally rather than strategically can scare off buyers and leave your home lingering on the market.
The Fix: Listen to your estate agent, study local comparables, and price with the market, not your heart. A beautifully presented, appropriately priced home will always generate more
interest.
2. Skipping the Prep Work
