Seller's Mistakes #4 & 5

Mistakes Continue....

4. Failure to use neutral colors when painting both inside and outside.

While the seller's favorite colors may be the exact complement to their living style, the shades and hues may be a complete distraction and turn-off to the buyers.  Their favorite wall paper may not be on the buyer's "best" list.  The best way to present a home is for the wall colors to be painted a neutral color.  This goes for the outside as well - a loud or non-neutral color may just keep the buyers from even stopping to see the inside.

5. Failure to spotlessly clean the windows and window coverings.

Nothing is more distracting to a buyer than to be looking at a view through a dirty window.  This area, as in cleaning the carpets is best left up to the experts.  The same can be said for the kitchen and bathroom counters and tile.  A little investment here will pay big dividends ... what you don't see is often more important than what you do see.
