Don’t allow a keysafe to be placed on your home.

#9

Require by appointment only showings and insist that you the seller be home when the showings occur.

#8

Failure to spend any time or money getting your property in excellent showing condition.

#7

Refuse to remove your family tree mural with photos tracing your family’s history back to the Civil War. Refuse to have your teenage son and daughter remove their Gothic S&M paraphenalia from their bedroom walls.

#6

Don’t allow a buyer to view your back yard because your pit bull doesn’t like woman real estate agents with too much make-up and high heels.

#5

Follow the buyers and the agents around the house and point out every insigificant thing you have done to “improve” the property - most of which in reality the prospective buyers hates anyway - better to not point that out.

#4

List the house with your second cousin Joe from Sacramento because he has agreed to take a 1% listing.

#3

List your property below what you actually want to sell the house for in hopes of multiple offers - when the multiple offers don’t come - you are up the creek without a paddle.

#2

Demand that your agent hold your home open every weekend and run 1/2 page ads too.

#1

Price the property too high - I know it only take one buyer - but any buyer with money is NOT STUPID and they are going to buy the best house they can for the money.
