Selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make.However, many homeowners make mistakes that can cost them thousands of dollars, months of lost time, and a lot of stress.

This blog was created for you — a Spanish-speaking homeowner in Maryland who wants to sell smart, safely, and with peace of mind.As an investor-focused agent, I’ve seen these mistakes many times… and I’ve also helped dozens of people like you avoid them and turn their sale into a financial win.

1. ❗ Setting an Emotional Price (Instead of a Strategic One)

One of the most common mistakes is pricing your home based on what you think it’s worth or what you need to earn — instead of what the market is actually willing to pay.

What happens when you overprice it?

• Your home sits on the market too long

• Buyers assume something’s wrong

• You end up lowering the price later — with less negotiation power

🔍 Solution:Get a professional market analysis with an agent who understands both the emotional and financial sides. I’ll help you set a smart, competitive price that attracts real offers from day one.

2. ❌ Selling Without Preparing the Property

Sometimes we think a home will “sell itself,” but not preparing your property is like showing up to a job interview without getting ready.

• Old paint

• Broken fixtures

• Neglected yard

• Poor-quality photos

All of these scare buyers away.

🔧 Solution:My team and I will guide you — for free — on which small improvements can make a big impact. And if you need help, I have trusted contractors with preferred rates.

3. ❌ Not Working with a Trusted Professional

Online, everything looks easy — but selling a home is a legal, financial, emotional, and strategic process. Going it alone is like walking blindfolded.

📉 Risks:

• Financial losses

• Legal problems

• Unfair deals

🤝 Solution:Work with an agent who speaks your language and understands your goals. With me, you’ll have a partner who represents, protects, and guides you every step of the way.

4. ❌ Accepting the First Offer Without Evaluation

Many sellers get excited about the first offer — but not all offers are equal.Some have hidden conditions. Others depend on weak financing. And some look good… until you realize you could have gotten more with better negotiation.

💼 Solution:We negotiate like investors. Our goal isn’t just to sell — it’s to sell better. We analyze every offer carefully, with logic, not emotion.

5. ❌ Ignoring Hidden Closing Costs

Between taxes, commissions, repairs, and closing expenses, your final numbers might surprise you if you don’t review them in advance.

💰 Solution:From day one, I clearly explain all the costs involved so there are no surprises — and I help you reduce them wherever possible.

6. ❌ Overlooking Local and Federal Laws

Many homeowners unknowingly violate sale regulations — from required disclosures to Fair Housing Act rules.

🔒 Solution:As a licensed Maryland professional, I make sure we comply with all legal and ethical standards. Your peace of mind is my top priority.

7. ❌ Trying to Sell on Your Own “to Save the Commission”

This is the most dangerous mistake. Many homeowners think selling without an agent will save them money… but in reality, they often lose more.

• Wrong pricing = lost value

• Weak negotiation = smaller profit

• Legal risks = potential lawsuits

📊 Real Solution:A good agent doesn’t cost you — a good agent makes you money.My job is to help you sell faster, with less stress, and for more than you could achieve on your own.
