Selling your home is a big decision—and a major opportunity. A strong listing strategy can help you maximize your return and minimize stress. But even in a competitive market, missteps can cost time and money.

Here are the top five mistakes sellers often make—and how to avoid them:

1. Overpricing the home.
Pricing too high can lead to your home sitting longer and going stale. Holden uses local data and expert market insight to price competitively and strategically.

2. Skipping the prep.
Staging, repairs, and small improvements can dramatically impact your home’s appeal. We’ll walk through a custom prep plan that works for your timeline and budget.

3. Underestimating marketing.
In today’s market, great photos and online presence aren’t optional. Holden’s marketing background means your listing stands out with professional visuals and strategic promotion.

4. Being inflexible with showings.
Limited access can limit opportunities. We’ll work together to create a showing schedule that balances convenience with exposure.

5. Going at it alone.
From pricing to paperwork to negotiation, the home selling process has far too many intricacies to tackle on your own. With Holden, every detail is handled professionally—so you can focus on your next move.
