Die häufigsten Fehler beim Immobilienverkauf
Lack of patience
If you want to sell your property privately, you have a lot of work ahead of you. Valuing the property, obtaining all relevant documents, creating a meaningful exposé, determining the target group and implementing marketing strategies, preselecting potential buyers, organizing and conducting viewings, checking the buyer's creditworthiness. This effort is often underestimated. To save time, important tasks are skipped. The result is very likely to be a sale below market value – or even a costly reversal of the purchase agreement.
Lack of expertise
How can I value my property? What documents do I need for the sale and how do I draft the purchase agreement? Selling a house takes time. It also requires expert knowledge. A lack of know-how usually has a negative impact on sales negotiations and leaves you in a vulnerable position.
Emotional attachment
The first house you shared, the garden where your children learned to ride a bike: for most owners, their home is not just a piece of real estate. It has been the center of their lives for many years and is associated with countless memories. When it comes to parting with all of that and selling the house, many private sellers fail. Their high level of emotion often leads to unrealistic price expectations and a lack of objectivity in sales negotiations.
No network
Good contacts in the industry are essential for optimal marketing or determining the purchase price. Even when valuing the property, it is essential to know the right people to talk to. Otherwise, owners run the risk of falling victim to an untrustworthy seller—especially in this age of online review sites. Just like a lack of expert knowledge, not having a network with the necessary expertise can be a real problem for many private sellers. It makes them easy to manipulate and often leads to them selling their home for less than it's worth.
