Do your neighbors help or hurt the sale of your home? What would Mr. Rogers say?
Sadly, even though we can't choose our neighbors, their actions or lack of actions can have a fairly large impact on your home selling.
Whether it's the party-all-nighters who always have the street lined with cars during prime showing times on the weekend. Or that neighbor with the yard full of broken down items, green pool, and large dogs that can make buyers who are in love walk out on the back deck and GASP in horror.
And unfortunately, there's not much we can do with these neighbors beyond trying to make suggestions and talking it out.
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood
A beautiful day for a neighbor
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Please won’t you be my neighbor?
In Mr. Roger’s neighborhood all the neighbors are good right? Not so much with some of the neighbors we have encountered with our listings and homes we have shown to our buyers.
I wonder what Mr. Rogers would think about being neighbors with:
Crappy back yard guy. You know, the guy that never mows his back yard, and when he finally does it takes him all afternoon and his mower keeps dying because the grass is too long?
Cluttered back yard guy. You know, the guy that has so much crap and junk in his backyard that it looks like a tornado blew through?
Party every weekend guy. You know, the guy that has crazy loud drunk parties every weekend?
Crazy paint job guy. You know, the guy that painted his house in with colors so bright that you can see it from space??
There have been many times that we have found a wonderful home for a buyer and guess what? Mr. Friggin Rogers wasn’t their neighbor, it was one of those guys mentioned above. Before you buy a home MAKE SURE to look around first. A friendly tip from The Christiansen Team.
