FIX OR FLOP
You're looking for a new house; you see one for sale that looks great from the outside. You set up a showing. When you tour the house, you notice the dead bugs in the corners of the home, the closet doors are off their hinges and tracks, and cat litter is all over the bathroom floor. Are you really wanting to buy the home now? Most home buyer's would not! The National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents (NAEBA) recently conducted a study among their online members to discover what they found annoying or undesirable when searching for a new home. And some of the answers will surprise or perhaps disgust you. Here is a list of the most annoying / undesirable things buyers encounter when previewing a home: • Broken door locks preventing access to the home • Pet deposits in the backyard or dirty cat litter boxes • Missing light bulbs in the basement • Having loose stairs on a stairway, or missing / loose banisters • Low-hanging dining room light fixtures • Closet doors that fall off or are not adjusted properly • Hearing animals in the walls of a vacant home • Halloween decorations left out well after Halloween • Dangerous children's toys left out
