CONDITION
When looking for a house, a buyer’s most important
considerations are price and location. If your home
is within the target price range and in the right
location, without a doubt the next most crucial
criterion is its condition.
The buyer will be looking for model home conditions,
expecting to move in without doing anything,
including cleaning the carpeting. Paint should be
near perfect and neutral, inside and out. Windows
should be squeaky clean. All light figures should work
properly. No dripping faucets, leaky toilets, loose
wallpaper or nail pops. Roof, driveway, foundation
and basement floor should not be in need or repair.
And make sure your showing more appealing by
terminating all the dust bunnies and eliminating all
clutter. Most buyers are watching HGTV and expect
to find that perfect home that needs nothing! Make
your home that model home as much as possible.
