How do you Send a Buyer Running out the Door - Part 3
Apr 11, 2024
How do you send a buyer running out the door. Number three, not replacing bad shingles. Along with curb appeal when buyers walk up to your house what takes up a lot of visual square footage is your shingles and even the most novice of buyers will see curled shingles and know that they need to be replaced. They also associate a very high cost to that. Now as a homeowner if you have the time to do it, shingles really don't cost that much to do and now the buyer can walk up to your house see brand new shingles and we can advertise new shingles, getting you more money for your house.

How do you send a buyer running out the door? Number 6, not replacing knob and tube wiring or aluminum wiring. I have seen absolutely beautiful houses that buyers fall in love with but they choose not to put an offer in. The reason is they go into the basement and they find knob and tube wiring or aluminum wiring now it's not a big deal however, the buyer will associate a very high cost to replacing it plus a hassle to get it done. This is why as a homeowner it's important that you take this on get it done before we go to market. This way we don't have that issue plus we can advertise as updated wiring again getting a higher offer price and getting it sold quicker.
How do you send a buyer running out the door? Number four, not doing minor repairs. When buyers walk through your house they look at every single detail. Now everyone has little problems with their house, that's not a problem but these little things do add up in the buyer's mind and they don't make a great impression. The more things you have the more things they start looking for. That's why as Realtors we are really good at knowing what things should be fixed and done before you go to market. One nice thing about the Judy Lindsay Team is we have a free handyman service that can come in and help fix these little things to make sure your house shows really well and is going to get you more money.
