Selling your home in High Park, Toronto, is an exciting experience, but can also lead to unintended frustration and difficulties. Luckily, there are a few key mistakes that you can avoid to guarantee a positive experience for yourself.

 

  1. Avoid Emotional Attachment

 

After building a life in this home and creating long-lasting memories, it is natural that you feel a certain connection to the place you have called home for at least a couple of years. However, once you make the decision to put your home on the real estate market, it is important to try and maintain a professionalism from start to finish. In other words, you must attempt to transition from a home owner to a home seller. By detaching yourself from the emotional ties you may have to the home, you will begin to view the house objectively and accurately identify its strengths and weaknesses. This will be quite useful in that you will start to think like a business person and see the home in the eyes of a potential buyer, therefore, making the home more appealing to buyers.

 

  1. An Unappealing Interior and Exterior

 

This may seem to be the most obvious of mistakes to avoid when selling your High Park home; however, it is easy to overlook the “slight” imperfections once you have lived there for at least a couple years. Look around and be sure that you do not need to touch up the paint job or repair any light fixtures before showcasing your home. It goes without saying that your home should be nicely decorated and perfectly clean so that your buyers feel as though they are looking at a home not merely a house. You want to create an environment that potential buyers can visualize themselves living in. This extends to the exterior, as well. A properly landscaped lawn can go a long way when making a first impression to potential buyers.

 

  1. Hiring the Wrong Agent

 

Last, but certainly not least, you want to be sure that you are selecting the best quality real estate agent to entrust in the task of selling your home. This is crucial because you are placing a massive financial transaction in the hands of someone else, someone that you should feel comfortable trusting and relying on.
