Curb appeal, or better, the lack thereof, is one of the top 5 reasons why buyers may not enter a home!

real estate: 10 Home buying mistakes to avoid at all costs. - 09/11/15 05:57 PM
Home Buyers need to consider several factors when considering a new home. A property inspection is very important. This post provides several tips for all Home Buyers. 
These common home buying mistakes could cost you time, money, and sometimes the chance to buy your dream home.

Buying the oddball home.
Homes go up in value when other homes with similar layouts in the same neighborhood sell for more. These “comparables” or “comps” allow an appraiser to officially justify an increase in value, and therefore you’ll have more equity if you want to sell or refinance. So it’s important to buy a home … (6 comments)

I know today is not going to be any different.

Lighting A Property To Sell
Owners will often leave a house before a showing. This is great! Often the Seller will turn off lights and fans. In addition they will close all curtains. My advise to my Sellers to stop. Instead, have the Seller leave all lights on. Open all curtains as well.
When all the lights are off the buyers may find the house unattractive or unappealing. With the light's on the home will feel bigger, brighter and more spacious. Think about this, a well lit home is more attractive.
