Why details are important

Businesses get in trouble when they ignore small problems, according to author Michael Levine in his book, "Broken Windows, Broken Business: How the Smallest Remedies Reap the Biggest Rewards." Home sellers also have to pay attention to the smallest details or risk failure.

EnergizedSeller.com recently visited some sellers who were frustrated because their home hadn't sold. They invested several thousand dollars in improvements but failed to fix the important details that give home buyers a negative impression of the home. Below are 5 of the 10 details that were ignored by the home owners. Do you have some of your own examples?

  1. Missing fixtures
  2. Dirty walls or doors
  3. Disorganized Closet
  4. Sloppy paint job
  5. Worn hardware and doors

Go here to read more on details and to see what the other 5 details the homeowners ignored.

Kym,

It is amazing what a nice, neutral paint job will do for a home!!  The most bang for your buck...along with good landscaping!!  You never have a 2nd chance to make a 1st impression!!
