12 Confessions of a First-Time Home Seller

While buying a first home is always exhilarating, selling it is often bittersweet. When it's time to move on, it can be hard to let go. As is no doubt the case for most first-time homeowners, my first house harbored so many memories—first baby steps, first holidays, first schools days, and yes, first DIY successes. It was so inconceivable to me that I could sell a house that aroused such strong sentiments that I almost sabotaged the sale. Thank goodness my real estate agent set me straight. The following confessions come from my personal experience as a first-time home seller. If you're thinking about putting your home on the market, first-time seller or not, I hope you can learn from my mistakes.
