Mistake 5: Choosing the Wrong Agent or Marketing Strategy

Not every agent has the same market knowledge or reach. Some list your property and wait, while others actively market it, qualify buyers, and manage negotiations.

How to avoid it: Work with a licensed, RERA-registered professional and ask for their registration details so you can verify them. Check their experience in your specific community, ask how they will market your property, and understand the commission, contract length, and whether the agreement is exclusive. Be careful with promises that sound too good to be true, such as guaranteed sale prices or guaranteed timelines. Your agent's role is to give honest advice and clear communication, not to flatter your expectations.
