The 5 Most Common Property Selling Mistakes – and How an Agent Avoids Them
From wrong pricing to poor marketing: these mistakes cost owners thousands of francs – a good agent protects against them.
Mistakes 1–3: Price, Photos and Accessibility
The most expensive selling mistakes:
- 1. Wrong price – Too high deters, too low wastes money. An agent provides a proper market analysis.
- 2. Poor photos – Phone snapshots in bad lighting are off-putting. Professional agents work with photographers.
- 3. Hard to reach – Failing to respond quickly loses prospects. An agent is available daily and responds immediately.
Mistakes 4–5: Negotiation and Documentation
- 4. Emotional negotiation – Owners are emotionally attached and react irrationally during price negotiations. An agent negotiates objectively and maximises returns.
- 5. Missing documents – Land registry extract, building insurance proof, energy certificate – without these, the sale is delayed or falls through. An agent ensures everything is prepared.
