Stay positive and don't worry unnecessarily

You will get knock backs when selling your house. Not everything will go your way. So try and remain positive regardless of what happens.

Positive people are inclined to ooze with enthusiasm, encouragement and confidence. It is contagious!!!

Negative thinkers on the other hand, make it a habit of dragging others down. Their destructive attitudes and pessimistic ways of reasoning can instil fear and cast doubt. Stay positive!!!

I know that is easier said than done.

There is a big difference between being prepared and worrying yourself sick over what might or might not happen. Worry, stress and nervous tension are big problems in this fast paced society we live in. Most of the things we worry about will probably never happen. Many seemingly unsolvable problems often fix themselves given a little time.

Thinking and then taking action solves problems, but worrying often compounds and magnifies the problem. Break problems down into smaller components and deal with each part one at a time.

Just keep in mind that selling your house is not going to happen instantly. Selling your house will take time and perseverance. Try and relax, stay focused on your game plan and do the right things necessary to bring potential buyers through your front door. If you are well prepared then you will have more confidence and be more in control.

People don't always do what they say they will do

If you have ever run a business you'll realize that dealing with "the public" can be frustrating at times.

People don't always do what they say they will do. They don't always keep appointments. Some people will tell you they will be bring their husband or wife for a look through the house - and they never return. Others might tell you they will call around on Friday to sign the contract - they never turn up.

It is normal for these things to happen, SO DON'T LET IT GET YOU DOWN!

Keep hope!

Selling your home... get details right!

Many home sellers have high stress levels, or fail to succeed to sell their own home because they won't, or cannot, sweat the details. It is important to see the big picture, but it is equally important to get details right.

Any expert in time management will tell you to prioritize your tasks. The best way to achieve this is to detail everything you have to do. Write tasks down on a "TO DO" list and then prioritize them. Do the most important tasks first and the least important last.
