Selling your home is one of the biggest financial moves you’ll make — and the right strategy makes all the difference. At the FRJ Group, we’ve helped countless sellers maximize their results. Here are five common mistakes we’ll help you avoid.

1. Overpricing the Home It’s natural to want top dollar, but setting the price too high can scare off buyers and lead to longer days on market. We use local market data to price your home competitively and strategically. 2. Skipping Staging & Preparation First impressions matter. Simple improvements — like decluttering, staging, and professional photos — can dramatically increase your home’s appeal. Our team guides you step by step. 3. Limiting Exposure The more eyes on your property, the better. Relying on just one platform can cost you opportunities. We market your home across MLS, social media, and our vast network of buyers. 4. Ignoring Repairs or Updates Small issues like leaky faucets or outdated fixtures can make buyers hesitate. We’ll advise on cost-effective updates that boost value without breaking the bank. 5. Trying to Sell Alone Going “For Sale By Owner” may sound appealing, but it often leads to lower offers and more stress. With our expertise, you’ll have skilled negotiators ensuring you get the best outcome. 👉 Thinking about selling?
