Things that turn off a buyer when looking at your house in Marion Ar
Okay, your house is on the market for sale, it is open for business now. Of course you want your house to be shown, right? Do you know there are a few things that turn off a buyer real fast when touring your house?
The most common turn offs are:
- Smoke odor
- Pet odor
- Heavy scent of air freshener, potpourri, candles that you use to cover up any odor in your house
- Dirty dishes pile up in the sink
- Dirty bathrooms
- Stains on the floor
- dirty stove and oven
- smelly garbage
- an "ungroomed" yard
- wet towels hanging around
- general cleanliness of the house
You got the idea. If you are selling your house, keep it clean and tidy. Buyers do judge the house from what they see the first time. You only have one shot to make a good impression, take full advantage of it when there is a buyer wants to look at your house. If they decide to come back for a second showing, your chance of getting your house sold is even higher.
Usually it is a good sign when a buyer is willing to stay longer to look at the house, but if your house does not smell "pleasantly", the buyer is leaving your house in a heartbeat. You lost your chance of selling your house then.
Don't let it happen to you, always keep your house ready to be shown, anytime.
