As we tour homes with Buyers we observe lots of different features in a home. David concentrates on the construction and mechanical aspects and I look at the layout, decor...let my imagination sore as I imagine what I would do differently with the house that the Sellers did not. Sometimes I wonder....was it fear that caused the listing agent not to tell the Sellers....that.....
- The family album of photographs displayed in
several rooms is a distraction...not an "attraction."
- That contrasting wall of bright orange may not be
everyone's "decorating delight"
- The Litter box is necessary...not as a doorstop
- The collection(s) of .....displayed everywhere are
your pride and joy....why aren't they packed and ready
for your move
- Countertops are to be shown and not "used for storage"
when you list a house
- Yes...there will be moving boxes...not covering a whole
basement wall...what's hiding behind them ?
You can sense the fear of the listing agent in not telling the Sellers what they needed to do to get the house ready to sell.....and are asking the Buyers to stretch their imaginations to see passed the clutter...to change the color
and that is just too much for most buyers to do....and it will be on to the next property where the Sellers and Agent and or Staging consultant worked as a team to have the house
"show ready"....to do the little things that say...
