What are the most common mistakes to avoid when selling a home in Henderson?
The biggest mistakes include overpricing, skipping repairs, poor marketing, and choosing the wrong Realtor. These missteps can cost you time and money. Deidre Wilson helps Henderson sellers avoid pitfalls and maximize their results.

Mistake #1: Overpricing Your Home

Buyers compare homes online instantly.
An overpriced listing lingers, leading to price cuts.
In Henderson neighborhoods like Anthem and Green Valley Ranch, competitively priced homes sell faster and closer to asking.

Mistake #2: Neglecting Repairs or Updates

Small issues like leaky faucets or chipped paint create red flags.
Major system issues (roof, HVAC) can kill deals.
Even affordable updates — paint, lighting, landscaping — boost appeal.

Mistake #3: Poor Marketing

Cell phone photos and basic MLS entries aren’t enough.
Buyers expect professional photography, 3D tours, and social media exposure.
Homes with strong marketing campaigns attract more buyers and better offers.

Mistake #4: Being Unprepared for Showings

Clutter and personal items make it hard for buyers to picture themselves in the home.
A clean, staged property feels move-in ready.

Mistake #5: Choosing the Wrong Realtor

Some agents lack local Henderson expertise.
Others don’t communicate or market effectively.
Sellers deserve a Realtor with proven results and community knowledge.
