The three biggest mistakes made by owners who want to market their property privately

Selling your own home is often a once-in-a-lifetime event and at the same time a significant economic step. Many owners therefore toy with the idea of taking over the marketing themselves. After all, nobody knows the property as well as you do. However, this is precisely where a number of pitfalls lurk that can jeopardize the success of the sale. Below, we highlight the three most common mistakes in private sales and show how professional support can make all the difference.

1. unrealistic asking prices
The market value of a property is not measured by memories and emotional attachment, but by location, condition, features and comparative offers. If the asking price is set too high, this deters potential buyers and leads to long marketing times. This often ends in repeated price reductions and ultimately proceeds below the market price. A professional valuation report and well-founded market analysis ensure that the optimum asking price is selected, which generates demand and achieves the best possible sales proceeds.

2. lack of professional presentation
The first impression is decisive. In times of digital property searches, the exposé, visual language and online presence must meet the highest quality standards. Unfavorable photos or an incomplete presentation will result in your property being lost among the wide range of properties on offer. High-quality photographs, clear floor plans and an attractive exposé appeal to the right target group and significantly increase interest. VON POLL IMMOBILIEN relies on professional preparation and a strong marketing network.

3. lack of marketing and negotiating experience
Selling a property requires a precise strategy: a targeted approach to potential buyers, qualified viewings, careful credit checks and legally compliant contract preparation. Negotiating with experienced prospective buyers can also be a challenge for private sellers. A lack of routine can lead to financial disadvantages or delays. An experienced real estate consultant protects you from such risks and represents your interests confidently until the deal is successfully closed.

With VON POLL IMMOBILIEN Nettetal at your side, you benefit from regional expertise, comprehensive service and marketing at the highest level.
