Homes For Sale Can Be Like A Bum Wheeled Shopping Cart

Gary Woltal makes some suggestions that make sense to me. I think you may agree yourself. 

Deferred maintentance can be a real big problem over time.

Grocery BasketEver been to your WalMart, Target, or favorite local grocery store and pulled one of those shopping baskets out of the lineup and start wheeling along and you got some kind of cockeyed wheel amongst the four that won't let the darn thing go straight? I know I am personally an excellent picker of these lemon baskets in case you need me on your team for such selections.

Homes For Sale Can Be Like A Bum Wheeled Shopping Cart.

I am talking about "deferred maintenance" items that slip by. Sellers think their "almost" perfect home is good enough. Trust me, it is not. Inspections will pick things up, curb appeal will have to improve, a door stained or painted, dings removed, roof shingles replaced, sprinkler heads fixed, missing fence boards replaced. These maintenance items missing, creak along with trying to sell your home and your house drives around the store or "shows" like a cart with a bum wheel. What is the feeling a buyer gets?? Neglect and more important it is ANNOYING.

Don't drive with a bum wheel. FIX all deferred maintenance items.

You wouldn't want to buy one of those faulty shopping carts anymore than you'd want to buy a home with obvious defects.  There is no rule that you have to take the cart with the broken wheels.  It's OK to set it aside Tom.

I thought there was some cart etiquette that says you must use the next cart in line Doug.
