Good Tips for Not Turning Homebuyers Off




When individuals are shopping for a home, their instinct and first thoughts are important in helping them make the decision to buy your house.  Even though your property is priced right and in a desired location, you could be scaring off potential buyers without ever knowing it.

 The following is a list that can turn a buyer off:


Overpricing Your Home

Making sure your home is properly priced before hitting the market is a crucial factor in obtaining a quick sale. Working with an experienced REALTOR® will help ensure that your home sells for what it’s worth.

Covering up Issues

Regardless if it is a bad foundation or something else, covering up potential problems to get a quick sale is a gamble. Virtually no home is perfect. I recommend being open, sincere and straight about any defects in your home. This will help with a smoother sale.

Not Staging Your Home

Give buyers a clean, decluttered and neutral space is a key factor to help them envision themselves living in your home.  A variety of personal stuff could be distracting. Also, showing your house with poor lighting or overwhelming colors can irritate potential buyers. I recommend getting home stagging advice.

Turning Down Showings

Having your house prepared for showings and open houses can be demanding. Being not flexible with requested showing can affect getting offers.  I suggest that you allow more showing and not be at home while they are viewing the property.

Now you found a few properties that you like; you will want to ask your REALTOR® to ask these six questions to the seller's agent.  Why are the owners selling?

Some REALTOR®s might be unwilling to share this information because it's personal for their client. If you get an answer that makes sense,  move forward to the next questions.
