5 Mistakes Sellers Make While Moving

We all make mistakes. But with a little extra planning and know-how, you can sidestep the following pitfalls the next time selling is on the mind:

• Mistake #1: Listing your home too soon - either before you're emotionally ready or before your home is ready to be viewed.

• Mistake #2: Put your belongings in storage for months and months without thinking about them (and unnecessarily racking up monthly storage fees).

• Mistake #3: Expecting new appliances, furniture, or home decor to be delivered overnight. While pandemic delays are a thing of the past, it can take weeks or months to schedule delivery.

• Mistake #4: Misunderstanding the layout of your new home and whether your current or new furniture will fit. (A tape measure is your best friend here!)

• Mistake #5: Packing too late. On average, it takes 3-5 full days to pack up a three-bedroom house. Triple or quadruple that number if you only want to pack in the evening hours.

Slow and steady wins the packing race.
