Home Buyers Dislikes

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty

Many of today’s home buyers are very savvy and know what they want when they are buying their home.  They are able to detect things about a house that are suspicious that will prevent them from further considering the house.  Following are a few things that irritate potential home buyers:

Sellers who cover up issues within their home – These issues can range from bad odors to foundation issues.  Sometimes the seller will not disclose important issues within the seller’s disclosure report.  If these types of things happen, this may lead to either buyer backing out of the deal at the last moment, or generate a legal law suit. 

Sellers who over price their home.  Seller needs be aware the price they paid for their home has no bearing on what they can receive when selling property.  Over priced home tends cause buyers not to tour the property, and realtors not to recommend to their clients to tour the house.

 Property was not prepared for showing.  Buyers will be turned off when they tour a property that has not been cleaned and decluttered.  In addition, need to provide easy access through the house so a buyer can visualize how they might arrange their furniture and decorate.

Not making your home available for showings.  Normally, you only get one chance to show your property to a potential buyer.  Sellers who request specific times to view, or demand to be present during showing will only hinder themselves from a quick sale.
