4 Mistakes You Don't Want to Make

Don’t Make These 4 Mistakes When Selling Your House in Central Texas

Selling your home in Central Texas? Whether you’re in Kyle, Buda, San Marcos, or anywhere in between you do NOT want to make a crucial mistake when selling your house. At The Alexander Home Team, we’ve walked hundreds of families through the selling process, and we’ve seen firsthand how a few simple missteps can cost sellers time and money.

Here are four common mistakes to avoid when putting your home on the market:

1. Don’t Go Cheap on Photography or Digital Marketing
In today’s world, most buyers fall in love with a home before they ever see it in person. That means your home needs to shine online—with professional photography, video tours, and strong digital marketing. Cutting corners here is like trying to sell a truck with no photos—it just doesn’t work. The Alexander Home Team includes this high-level marketing in every listing because we know it gets results.

2. Don’t Overprice—Buyers Are Too Educated Today
Thanks to sites like Zillow and Redfin, buyers in Central Texas are doing their homework. If your home is priced too high, you’ll turn people off before they even schedule a showing. Overpricing often leads to longer days on market and lower final sale prices. Our team uses up-to-the-minute data to help you price your home right, from day one.

3. Staging Isn’t About Spending Big—It’s About Preparing Smart
You don’t always need a professional stager, but you do need your home to feel clean, open, and move-in ready. That could mean replacing worn flooring, deep cleaning, decluttering, or removing bulky furniture. Simple changes make a big difference. Buyers want to walk in and feel like they’re home—our team will help guide you on where to focus.

4. Don’t Over-Improve for the Neighborhood
Upgrades are great—if they make sense for your market. Dropping $10k on luxury granite in a starter home neighborhood probably won’t give you the return you’re hoping for. Focus on clean, functional, and well-maintained spaces. At The Alexander Home Team, we help our sellers make smart, strategic updates that attract buyers and protect your bottom line.
