If you’re selling in Northern Idaho, there are four specific phrases to avoid.

• “Our house is in perfection condition.” Most likely, even if it’s a new construction property, it isn’t! Something will probably be off, so you’re better off not mentioning the condition right away.
• “I’ve always wanted to fix or renovate.” This might be the bathroom or the kitchen. However, saying this tells a seller you haven’t prioritized fixing up or renovating. It doesn’t send a good message.

• “I spent a lot of money on the property.” It might be the pond in the backyard or landscaping in the front yard. Understand you won’t always earn the return on these investments.
• “I won’t accept under ‘x’ amount for my home.” This is the most important, because it makes you appear unreasonable and difficult. It sounds like you won’t negotiate. If you’re working with a Realtor, you shouldn’t have to worry about earning top dollar.
