No, believe it or not, those dirty dishes have no intentions of cleaning themselves. Don't get me wrong, it we were in a perfect world that may fly. But since we both know that we're not, you may want to break out the soap and get to work. You may be surprised in the difference that it will make in the appearance of your kitchen.
While I would love to say that people are going to look past that two foot pile of dirty cloths that have completely blocked out the bedroom floor, that's not going to happen either. There's a genuine reason that your Realtor asked you to clean the home and make it look good. That's because we intend to show and sell it. After all, that's what you hired us to do right?
The fact of the matter is that people will not look past all the areas of your home that need to be cleaned. They want to see a model home. Have you ever been to a model home that a builder has built in their new communities? These things are perfect on a daily basis and there's a reason for that. Most buyers you visit communities want to buy the model home. It's clean, cluttered, well decorated, and looks great.
Now back to my redundant speech about the mess you call home. Yours needs to look like that model home and no matter how many times you ignore my advice, buyers won't ignore your pig pin. They will see that you don't clean up after yourself and they will know that you don't likely maintain other parts of the home any better. So chances are they will flee from your house like a kidnap victim who managed to untie themselves. And if we can catch them, chances are we will just take them to another home.
Don't try to cut corners either, do the job right and you will be rewarded with good feedback from Realtors and prospective buyers. The home needs to be ready to show and that takes effort on your part, we are in this together like it or not.
And while your at it, how about cranking up the tractor and doing something with that jungle you call a yard as well. I lost 3 perfectly good coworkers in there last week and I don't want to be the latest statistic. If I want to go on Safari, I'll call a travel agent and take the guided tour.
