Selling your Kansas City house through an agent? Make sure you read this blog post that reveals 4 mistakes you should avoid when listing when an agent in Kansas City\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to sell your Kansas City house, or if you\u2019re an agent who is selling houses in Kansas City then here are 4 mistakes you should avoid when listing when an agent in Kansas City\u2026<\/p>\n

First, Don\u2019t Assume That You Can Sell Right Away<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The market varies and can even shift from one day to the next, depending on a number of factors. So make sure you set realistic timelines about how long it will take to sell.<\/p>\n

If you are a seller, assume it will take months for the sales process to be completed \u2013 from fixing up the house to showing buyers to negotiating to setting a closing date to moving out. If you are an agent, be careful not to over-promise a timeline to your sellers \u2013 set their expectations.<\/p>\n

Second, Don\u2019t Assume That The Asking Price Will Be The Selling Price<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"MistakesThe asking price is the starting point in the sales process \u2013 it establishes what a seller wants to sell for.<\/p>\n

If you are a seller, realize that the actual selling price might be different than the asking price. If you\u2019re an agent, make sure you explain this to your sellers.<\/p>\n

Third, Don\u2019t Assume All The Money Goes Right Into Your Pocket<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some people make the mistake of assuming that the selling price (minus anything they owe on their mortgage) is pure profit. But this is not true.<\/p>\n

If you are a seller, make sure you know that there will be agent commissions, closing costs, and other fees you\u2019ll have to pay. If you\u2019re a real estate agent, make sure you explain to your customers.<\/p>\n

Fourth, Don\u2019t Assume That The First Offer Will Go Through<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Buyers often make offers and then discover that they can\u2019t get financing for some reason.<\/p>\n

If you are a seller, be prepared to have one or two buyers fall through before a buyer can be found. If you\u2019re a real estate agent, prepare your sellers ahead of time by explaining this so they can be ready in case it happens.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Whether you\u2019re a property owner looking to sell, or you\u2019re a real estate agent who is representing sellers, these are 4 common mistakes that can happen during the sales process \u2013 so make sure you\u2019re aware of them.<\/p>\n
