DEAL BREAKERS
A series of posts from Empire Home Staging Solutions, about common home repairs that can often times get overlooked and forgotten by sellers!
Deal Breakers are those small repair jobs that we always put off because we don't have the time to fix them, or we just have become so accustomed to living with them, that we have just forgotten about them all together. Oversights perhaps, but when trying to sell a home these small repairs can make all the difference in whether you have a deal or not. Learn how these simple home repairs can enhance your homes beauty and maximize its true selling potential!
Small fixes that can have a HUGE impact when it comes to putting your home on the market!
When a small home repair is not fixed, it allows potential buyers to negotiate downward on the sales price in order to compensate for the amount of money that will be needed to cover the repair costs.
Leave the guessing out of the equation and repair the deal breakers before placing your home on the market.

FLOORING
Today, the majority of buyers are looking for homes that are turnkey. They want to be able to purchase a home, move their belongings in without the worries of having to do any type of repair work.
Sellers often times make the huge mistake of not cleaning or replacing their flooring before putting their home on the market. Sellers will often become comfortable with their surroundings to where even the most obvious of stains some how become forgotten. Unfortunately for sellers, soiled/damaged carpeting or flooring only will turn buyers off quickly and can even result in becoming an immediate deal breaker.
When buyers are on the hunt for that perfect home and they enter a house that has soiled or damaged carpeting, it instantly sends a negative message. The buyer starts calculating,... How much money will I need to spend to replace it? What types of issues am I going to find underneath the carpet once it is removed ... mold, floor damage , etc.?
Don't leave your buyers guessing!
Sellers can easily impress potential buyers, simply by shampooing the carpet prior to putting the house on the market. Not only will it take care of the soils and stains, but it will help freshen up the house and remove trapped household and/or pet odors that can often offend buyers. A simple and inexpensive solution!
If the carpeting issues are beyond fixing with just a simple shampoo, then replacing the carpet with new neutral toned carpet is highly recommended. Although it can be quite an expense to replace it, it is far less than having to take a reduction off your sales price because the offers are not coming in. After all, your home is usually your largest investment!
Don't leave the sale of your home up to chance!
Fresh clean flooring makes a lasting impression with buyers and can only enhance your homes beauty and maximize its selling potential!
When it comes to hardwood flooring, tile and linoleum, the same holds true. Damaged or soiled flooring can easily turn buyers away. Make the repairs prior to putting the house on the market and impress potential buyers with a home that is well maintained!
Fresh clean flooring always makes a lasting impression!
