Please Don't:
1. Rationalize that a higher asking price means you will have more wiggle room. You could wind up sitting idle on the market with a house full of wiggle room.
2. Respond to lowball offers with a counter — instead, respond with an invitation to re-submit.
3. Refer to a leaky foundation as a central humidifier.
4. Make your house smell like a cherry orchard or a department store perfume counter.
5. Air your dirty laundry. This includes leaving bills and private papers out, or, of course, actual dirty laundry.
6. Take your prospects on A Complete History of The Kopecki Repairs & Renovations Tour.
7. "Clean up" by stuffing all the closets.
8. Leave unfinished DIY jobs for the buyers' honey-do list.
9. Defer yard work. Your house only gets one chance to make a first impression. Overgrown shrubs and broken gutters are the real estate equivalent of dandruff.
10. Think licks from Rex the Bulldog will help generate more offers.
