Lots of places have advice for how to get the attention of buyers, but how do you know what is turning buyers away? Here are a few common ways to lose a buyer.

 

Unkempt lawns or foliage. An overgrown lawn or hedge can devalue the appearance of a house, giving buyers a negative impression before they even leave the car. Keep everything trimmed.

 

Hard-to-clean features like popcorn ceilings and brass fixtures. Anyone who does housework is going to go into a showing looking for features that are easy to clean and maintain. If you have high-maintenance features in the house, consider replacing them.

 

Cluttered house. It’s not just about the small items; large furniture pieces can make a room feel cramped, too. Consider storing a few pieces of furniture to open up the home.

 

Have a good one and let me know if you need anything.
