  1. Do not price your real estate too high. This will either deter potential buyers from even looking at your real estate, or it will lead potential buyers to expect more from your real estate than you have to offer. Pricing your real estate too high will cause your real estate to be on the market longer, while in the end, it will sell for a lower price anyway.
  2. Do not neglect to show your real estate at its best to buyers. Make sure your piece of real estate is clean, neat, and tidy. It should also be in good repair.
  3. Do not press your buyers. Give them time to look over your home and consider your real estate. Any amount of undue pressure will only drive buyers away.
  4. Understand your real estate contract—every word. Not knowing your rights and responsibilities could result in unexpected expenditures and headaches.
  5. Do not put a limit on the marketing of your real estate. Your agent should be using as many marketing outlets as possible in attempting to sell your home.

Just bought my first SMA and was very happy to have gone through Immediate Annuities.com. I found them in an article in the Wall Street Journal. As a first time buyer, I had a lot of questions. But to their credit, they did a great job answering my questions directly or getting the right answers from the right people when they needed to.
