The #1 mistake to avoid with spring buyers

Buyers this spring are active, informed—and cautious.

They’re watching every new listing closely, and they’re quick to scroll past anything that feels overpriced or poorly presented. That’s why one of the most costly mistakes sellers are making right now is overpricing out of the gate.

Set the right price, and you create instant momentum. Miss the mark, and your listing could stall before it gets traction.

If you’re thinking about selling, let’s talk about how to make sure your price—and your marketing—hit the sweet spot.

Talk soon,
