A lot of Atlanta homes sellers don't want to paint, clean or fix anything when you are at the home on the listing presentation. They always assume they have the best home, the most square footage, the biggest lot, the best nails and so on! Isn't that always the way? The house down the street that has been totally updated with new siding, new roof, new HVAC, new kitchen and master bath sells for a great price. There is only one problem with the seller's home that you are interviewing has none of the above. There are water stains on the ceiling, there is rusted water underneath the how water heater, the paint is yellowed, and the windows are all fogged up, the furnaces are gasping, and the seller does not want to address any of the issues that have been brought to his/her attention. Sounds like a normal day in real estate. But they do want top dollar! Yes even without the repairs, or the granite or the upgrades. At this moment it is always time for a reckoning! It is good to have a chat with a seller, and let them know that good buyers, relocating employees have only limited time to select a home and move in. The same way the seller is avoiding any of the issues is the same way the buyer does not want to do any of the projects. A buyer wants to buy a home, and move in...they do not want to pay for the privilege of taking on a project or projects. So if you are thinking of selling Atlanta homes think it through first!
