Home sellers are like all others in this busy world we live in....but if your motivated and serious about selling your home....You have to set yourself apart. I have listed 5 of the top mistakes or "don'ts" you shouldn't do when you have your home on the market.
1. You have to make changes in the way you live in your home....You can still live comfortably but not too relaxed. It is very important to put away things that you don't use on a daily basis...declutter your home and don't clutter it back up.
2. Don't ignore maintenance! Just because your planning on moving, doesn't mean you should neglect the leaves in the gutter or the missing shingles on the roof or even the overgrown shrubs...This is the time your home should look the best....
3. Old wallpaper....if you've been thinking about taking it down....now's the time....
4. Now is not the time to paint your family room your favorite color of red... I often have sellers say to me, " I loved that color and if the house doesn't sell, I have to live here and I want to enjoy it" Wrong! this is no longer about you...it's about selling the home...Keep it neutral .
5. Don't throw everything in the garage to declutter the home... Organizing your garage and hanging shelves is a very important. Keeping everything up off the floor and on the shelves will give the appearance of a large area for cars. I recommend removing all cars from the garage before showings. The garage is a very important part of your home.
