Lansing Michigan Home Owner Tips: 5 Unexpected Buyer Turnoffs When Selling Your House

Are you in the process of selling your house with your REMAX Dewitt MI Real Estate Agent? Are you hoping to sell your Lansing Michigan house fast but cannot find the right buyer? As a home owner in Okemos, Holt, Grand Ledge, Saint Johns, Ovid, Dimondale, Portland or Laingsburg, selling a house is challenging because you need to clean, declutter. stage, and organize the home before prospective buyers tour. But are you aware of unexpected buyer turnoffs? To guarantee more showings, you can avoid the following issues: First, if you have pets, get rid of the smell and then remove any pet water bowls or food lying around the kitchen. You need to understand that not everyone likes pets. So regardless if the buyer is a retiree or first time homeowner, if they see pet food, water or kitty litter, this can be a deal breaker. Secondly, do you have a hot tub? Some buyers, especially parents, may think this is dangerous for kids, or perhaps can be a hassle paying for the expenses. Third, remove any out dated hardware, cabinets or fixtures. In other words, do not renovate the kitchen, instead, replace knobs to brush nickel or brass. Change all lightning fixtures to modern. You are competing against Mayberry and Allen Edwin Custom Built Homes so your house needs to "appear" updated. But good news: this only requires quick and easy repairs that can easily be done on a small budget.  Fourth, paint bedrooms and hallways neutral colors. Many people are turned away by bright red dining rooms or flower wall paper from the 1970's. You can buy affordable paint and supplies at Menard's or Lowe's. Lastly, hide your dirty laundry. The last thing you want is strangers touring the house and noticing your pajamas or socks laying on the couch or bed.
