A frequent mistake is listing without organised documentation, which slows down serious buyers during due diligence and can cause them to lose interest. Another is being inflexible on price without reference to actual comparable market activity.

Sellers sometimes also underestimate the value of good presentation, or fail to disclose known issues upfront, which can create friction or even derail a transaction later in the process when issues surface during buyer inspection.

Being organised, realistic and transparent from the start generally leads to a smoother sale than trying to manage these gaps reactively.
