If you will sell a house, make sure that it will not burden the buyer. Most buyers will not be busy with things-to-do-list before they occupy it. Just repair or fix your house to indulge your buyer. 

6. Too many special 'things'
A Roman statesman, Marcus Tullius Cicero, once said, people are failed because they refused to consider small things when implementing preferences. This also happens in the house seling process. You cannot expect other people to imagine that they are the occupants of your house, if there are too many personal touch which refer to your identity in the house. Hence, color your house using stadard one, remove all of your stuffs e.g. family picture, jacket and your children's crayons, so that your buyer will not be annoyed when visiting your house.

7. The layout is chaged
You might have a unique idea to make over your garage to be a recreation room, while most buyers need special area for their vehicles and other stuffs. To change bedroom to be a toilet might be good idea for you, but most buyers are expecting extra bedroom for kids and their visitors. So, if you will renovate the house, change in generally like other people do. 

8. Attractive outer apperance
If a buyer is not interested to outer appearance of your house, it's quite hard to imagine that he will be interested to step in to take a look inside. If your house listing looks good but you never take care of your house during an offering period of time, e.g. the grass keeps growing, dusty, water pipes are damaged or the lamp is off, never wish a buyer will be interested. Make sure that a buyer is impressed with the way you take care of your house. 

9. Too much to buyer
Let a buyer witness and experience just the way it is without you filling them with too much information that may turn his interest toward your house. Just pass those info to a real estate agent instead, so that the buyer will be liberated to give his own verdicts that might become advantageous feedback for you. 

10. Selling it by yourself 
You should pay for a commission fee to a real estate agent but please bear in mind, that the role of such a real estate agent is very good in giving advises to your potential buyer. Selling a house by yourself might be giving you benefit from not paying agent's fee, but at the same time you will be burdened and wasting time while the transaction may not be happened soon as expected.
