Yes, Northern Virginia Buyers are NOT Visual!!

Real Estate Agent with Samson Properties VA0225077251

Working over a decade in real esatate industry with many of the Northern Virginia first time home buyers to a buyers who have upgraded/downgraded into larger home,  every time we work together it amazes me how these buyers lack vision.

They lack the talent what we as a Realtor have and/or the Seller of the home has...

What the hack it means??????

If you have old & filthy dirty home- Buyers cannot visualize clean & how beautiful the home can look.

If your home is cluttered- Buyer cannot visualize the potential of the space the home has.

If your Home has too much furniture or decoration- They cannot visualize how their furniture or style may fit into the home.

If your home has Bad Internet pictures- Buyers cannot visualize how your home can shine like they saw on HGTV or other network.

 

So what do you do as a Northern Virginia seller of the home???

There are ample of blogs on what do to...however best way to handle would be to hire a professional Realtor who will guide you through the process and visualize your home as if you are going to buy that home!!!!

Thanks for sharing.  It is true, some people can't look past what they plainly see in front of them. We do this for a living; realistically how often is a single person or family looking to purchase a home.  We can't expect people to see things from the same perspective we do.

Ritu - You are so right.  I don't know how many homes I have shown that had so many distractions (clutter, dirt, etc.) that the buyer couldn't look past them to see the property.  And these were places that had hired an agent!  One of our key jobs as both a buyer's and a seller's agent is to make sure the property shows in the best light possible.

Such a great point!  I agree that a home really needs to be set up for the sale from being "decluttered" to having excellent photos.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone for reading this blog. I hope sellers out there make a note and how important it is for them to view their home sale as a big marketing model.

Ritu, the sellers that hire agents that take photos with their phone should know how that appears on the Internet.     That home will not get the highest & best price due to the lack of marketing.    GREAT post.
