Herman Munster, Realtor says my Halloween event choices for Phoenix are the best!
One of the more difficult things we as Real Estate professionals have to do is advising our clients "what has to go" when putting their family home on the market. Herman Munster may have ideas that do not match what the majority of Buyers are looking for in a home. For example, most Buyers are not looking for a moat around the home and creaking front porches and doors that resemble that of a dungeon.
I think we have all been there where a client's home, maybe like the Munster's home, has worked for them for a generation and everything works but it is not in a condition where we as professionals, in our opinions, will put the client's home in a position to sell for top dollar in the local market.
For example, Herman Munster may love certain aspects in a home, but some things haveGOTTA GO when selling a home!
Old Door Knobs
Are they old, brassy? Does the one on the front door look like it was owned by Herman Munster? Has it has been through one too many winters or scratched with brillo? Herman Munster might like old door knobs with "character?"... Most Buyers will not
Herman Munster styled- Front Door and Door Lighting Fixtures
Old doors? What do you think? Take a look at the Munster's front door.
Do you expect to hear chains rattling inside the door, aka the old TV show "The Munsters"? Spring for a nice door. Get an inexpensive but modern light fixture.
Of course you could ignore Herman Munster and ask me your professional Realtor.
