6 Comments on How not to sell your home.
Hey Russ,
I had a client who had a fear of animals (ALL). We were in a home with no signs of dead animals anywhere until I opened the door to the man's room. My client - a very large (professional football player) almost killed me trying to get out of the room. That was not the end nor the worst of it. We went up stairs to see the bedrooms. What we couldn't see on our way up the stairs was a large elk mounted over the stair way. We only saw it as we got to the top of the stairs. My buyer was not petrified. He could not bring himself to go down the stairs because the elk was now right there. So, I held his hand (did I tell you that I'm a guy) - he closed his eyes, and I lead him down the step...out the front door, and out of town.
Not my worst showing ever though
Russ, I showed a house 2 years ago that had many stuffed dead animals throughout the house. When my buyers little boy saw the dead stuffed squirrel in the bathroom he started crying. That ended that tour.
Russ- I never quite thought of this, but you're right! I'm sure many buyers could potentially be offended by someone's trophies. Thanks for pointing this out.
Russ ~ This is so true! As a professional home stager I always advise my clients to remove all "heads" on the walls .... it's just too offensive to many potential buyers and as you pointed out, may kill the deal.
Many of us aren't from hunting families, and I agree for those that are not, it could be a major turn off.
Russ, I love this...women would definitely be turned off by the big moosehead hanging on the den wall. ;-)
