10 Most Common Charlotte Home Seller Mistakes

Charlotte NC Home Seller Tips

Don't Make These Common Charlotte Home Seller Mistakes Mistake #1 – Over-Pricing Of course, every seller wants to get the most money for his or her home.  However, the most common mistake, by far, that causes sellers to get less than they hope for, is listing too high.  Sellers fail to understand that home listings reach the greatest number of potential buyers shortly after they hit the market.  If a property is immediately dismissed as being overpriced, it will result in later price reductions, costing the seller not only the net that they 'thought' they would procure but, the carry costs as … Continue reading...

Charlotte NC Uptown Condo Supply is Dropping By the Day!

I was recently chatting with a fellow agent who had a deal fall through after the buyers had proudly handed over a pre-approval from an unknown online mortgage service, only to find at the end of their Due Diligence period, that they were not 'qualified' to purchase a home--not this home, ANY home.
