Be Open to Constructive Criticism: Yes it is your home and you may be proud of it, but that does not mean that it will sell. Part of a Realtors job is to make your home ready for showing and ensuing that it will appeal to potential buyers. In order to make the process as smooth as possible it is important to maintain an open mind. Be open to the fact that repairs, upgrades and changes in general may have to be done.
