Although most sellers won't admit it, they often have more than a financial investment in their current homes. An emotional attachment to your home can lead to some distress when trying to sell your home. Read the following to make sure you put your emotions in check to put a bigger check in the bank after the closing of your home.

1. Price it too high. You've put a lot into your home and you expect to get top dollar. Unfortunately, tyour idea of top dollar may not always be what the Louisville market will bear.
