How do you Send a Buyer Running out the Door - Part 6

By Allan Asplin • 16 May, 2024
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 to Send a Buyer Running out The Door Part 5

16 May, 2024
How do you send a buyer running out the door? Number five, not fixing foundation problems. I've had many buyers go through houses where they absolutely fall in love with it until they get to the basement. Where they find foundation issues cracking, shifting & moisture. This is something that absolutely has to be taken care of before you go to market. Not only will it prevent the buyer from being a major negative but buyers also associate a very high cost of foundations and a lot of times they don't cost that much. Plus most companies offer a warranty that can be passed onto the buyer making it real positive compared to a negative.
