4 Things to Avoid When Showing Your Home to Buyers

by Stransky and Company

 

Staging a house for sale doesn’t come easy to everyone and sometimes it can be a little overwhelming.  Here are 4 tips on what to avoid when showing your home to buyers.

 

  1. Leaving Personal Hygiene Items Out: Store all personal items out of sight. Some homeowners will leave out toothbrushes, razors, or shampoo out in their bathrooms; however, viewing these items can make a buyer feel uncomfortable while walking through your home.

 

  1. Leaving Valuable Items Out in Plain Sight: Valuable possessions should always be hidden away. Don’t give buyers the impression that you are affluent, as they may try to negotiate a better deal for themselves if they think you can afford to make concessions or settle for a lower price.

 

  1. Allowing Controversial Items to Be Seen: Not everyone will share your political views or lifestyle choices. Make sure you remove any potentially offensive items such as posters, magazines, and fridge magnets.

 

  1. Cluttered Up Closets: Buyers always open cupboards and closets when viewing a house. If you’ve shoved all your clutter in them to hide your clutter you can give off the impression your home lacks storage.

 

Staging a home for sale is hugely important. If you are unsure of what to do to present your home to a potential buyer then ask your real estate agent for advice before listing your home on the market.
