What Stresses Sellers the Most—and How We Handle It

February 24, 2025

Selling a home is a big decision, and while the process should go smoothly with the right team in your corner, it doesn’t come without stress. A recent survey by 1000WATT of 1,000 home sellers revealed that 41% found negotiation to be the most challenging part of selling their home, followed by 20% who struggled with uncertainty around the outcome, 12% who cited preparing the home for sale, and 10% who were stressed about dealing with a real estate agent. Many sellers underestimate just how many moving pieces are involved in a successful home sale, which is why having an experienced team by your side makes all the difference.

At the Rob Jensen Company, we don’t just list homes—we guide you through the most stressful parts of selling, helping to minimize challenges and bring more reassurance to the process. We’re with you at every step, offering advice, market knowledge, and hands-on support to keep things moving smoothly. Here’s how we help:

Negotiation Expertise: With nearly half of sellers citing negotiation as their biggest challenge, it’s clear that experience matters. The Rob Jensen Company has represented 501 sellers since our inception in 2013. Beyond negotiating the price and terms of your contract, we also handle repair negotiations, personal property sales when needed, and more. Some negotiations are tougher than others, and we understand that a drawn-out process can be exhausting. While we do everything possible to streamline the process, we also know how to get you through the tough moments.

Market Certainty: Selling a home always comes with uncertainty. How long will it take? Will you get the price you want? We provide data-driven pricing strategies and a proven marketing approach, so you can move forward with confidence. By analyzing market trends, buyer behavior, and comparable sales, we ensure that your home pricing strategy gets you the best price for your home in the shortest time possible.

Strategic Home Preparation: Many sellers feel added stress or uncertainty when it comes to preparing their home for sale. None of this is fun. It’s the homework assignment nobody wants—making repairs, moving furniture around, getting the HVAC serviced, and more. Whether you have limited time, budget constraints, or young children and pets that make preparation harder, we’ll meet you where you’re at. We know the right people for the job—whether it’s bringing in fresh flowers, updating fixtures, or even handling larger upgrades—so your home is presented in the best light possible.

Making the Agent Relationship Work for You: Some sellers feel uneasy about working with an agent, whether they have concerns about communication, transparency, or feeling pressured. At the Rob Jensen Company, we prioritize clear, honest conversations and a collaborative approach. We’re happy to take the time to educate you on every step of the process, whether that means we get together in person to go over the details or jump on a call. Our goal is to ensure that you always feel informed and in control.

Selling a home should be an exciting step forward—not a source of stress. We make selling easier by handling the tough parts so you can focus on what’s next. If you want expert guidance and a results-driven approach, we’re here to help.
