Oh No They Didn't!
Top 10 Worst Home-Showing Offenses
Are your sellers’ homes leaving buyers with a bad impression?
Leftover home owners ….By far, one of the top offenses cited by buyer’s agents was home owners still lingering around when agents arrived with clients to preview the home. Awkward encounters ranged from buyers finding sellers taking a shower OR asleep in the bed....
Pets and their messes ….Numerous agents also cited the not-so-friendly dog and kitty encounters as a top offense. Even pets left in a crate can pose a distraction since they might make noise the entire time others are in the house.
Bad smells….A displeasing smell can really turn buyers off. Common offenses include cooking smells lingering around the home, such as garlic, fried bacon, or fish. Also, watch for cigarette smoke and animal smells.
