Selling a home may seem simple, but one wrong move can cost thousands. Many sellers unknowingly make avoidable mistakes, such as overpricing their home, neglecting legal requirements, or failing to market effectively.
At Puerto Rico Real Estate, PSC, we protect sellers from these common pitfalls by offering expert guidance, strategic marketing, and a seamless closing process.
A wrong listing price is one of the most common reasons a home sits on the market too long—or sells for too little.
β Overpricing scares off buyers and leads to fewer offers
β Underpricing results in lost profits
β Emotional pricing based on personal attachment rather than market value
How We Help:
β We perform a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to set the right price
β We analyze current market trends to maximize value
β We ensure pricing is competitive, leading to faster offers & stronger negotiations
Real estate transactions in Puerto Rico involve various legal documents, and errors can lead to delays, penalties, or even a failed sale.
β CRIM property tax clearance
β Title deeds & ownership verification
β Capital gains tax calculations
How We Help:
β We handle all legal paperwork to ensure compliance
β We coordinate with attorneys, title companies, and banks
β We prevent last-minute surprises that could delay the closing
Many sellers skip essential home preparations, leading to low offers or no offers at all.
β Neglecting curb appeal
β Ignoring minor repairs
β Leaving clutter & personal items that distract buyers
How We Help:
β We provide staging & presentation tips to increase appeal
β We recommend cost-effective upgrades that add value
β We highlight your home’s best features with professional photography
A For Sale sign in the yard isn’t enough! Many sellers fail to reach serious buyers due to poor marketing.
β Listing only on local websites reduces exposure
β Lack of high-quality photos & videos limits buyer interest
β No targeted online advertising leads to fewer inquiries
How We Help:
β We list your home on MLS, Zillow, Trulia, and top real estate websites
β We use social media ads & digital marketing to attract buyers
β We create virtual tours & drone footage for maximum exposure
Not all offers are equal! Some come with risks that could cause delays or cancellations.
β Lowball offers that waste time
β Buyers with weak financing who may not get loan approval
β Contingency-filled offers that can complicate the process
How We Help:
β We pre-screen buyers to ensure they are financially qualified
β We negotiate strategically to get the best price & terms
β We protect sellers from risky contingencies & financing delays
Many sellers don’t realize the hidden costs of selling a home in Puerto Rico.
β Capital gains taxes
β Legal fees & closing costs
β CRIM property tax settlements
How We Help:
β We provide a clear breakdown of expected costs
β We work with CPAs & tax advisors to minimize seller expenses
β We ensure there are no last-minute financial surprises
Selling a property involves many moving parts, and mistakes can be expensive. That’s why working with an experienced real estate team is essential.
β Accurate pricing & home valuation
β Professional marketing & buyer outreach
β Legal documentation & closing coordination
β Negotiation strategies that protect your financial interests
β A stress-free selling experience from start to finish
