Sellers - Control What You Can
I recently had the occasion to show a very nice home in one of the more exclusive gated communities in the Brevard County area.  My prospective buyers were specifically looking for a gated community in the planned unit development of Viera located north of Melbourne.

They liked the home and the neighborhood.  They did not like the gate guard's lack of friendliness.

I added a comment sort of like "Gate guards are like everything else in life.... they change."

Still, these particular buyers felt the attitude of the front gate reflected the attitude of the neighborhood!

While I do believe a personable friendly gate keeper is a positive I don't believe they reflect the neighbors in general.  

Besides,  this particular individual  may have been having a bad day.  We never know what is going on in a person's life and should not let one interaction define them permanently.

Still, the buyers checked the neighborhood off their list.

As a seller there are things you can control and others you can't.  Your focus must be on the things you as a seller can shape.

Consider things like... 
Landscaping.  Your yard needs to look appealing ... more
