Real Estate Report

September 18, 2012 by Michael Santos Leave a Comment

What makes home buyers grimace when they tour a      home for-sale? Don’t let one of your listings fall prey to one of these      common buyer pet peeves. A recent article at Zillow highlights some of      the following turn-offs:

  • Pets:           Dirty kitty litter boxes or dog toys scattered in a room can turn           off buyers who associate pets with unsanitary homes. Remove all           traces of pets in a home and pay attention to the home’s smell; get           rid of any lingering pet odors when homes are for sale.
  • Kid           items: Don’t let the kids overtake a home           with toys cluttering every square inch. Also, pay attention to any           sanitary or personal items involving infants. For example, “leaving           breast milk, a breast pump, or dirty baby bottles on the kitchen           counter could make a buyer feel that the home isn’t clean or           sanitary,” according to the Zillow article.
  • Personal           items: Watch the cleanliness of the bathroom           and what’s left out: For example, make sure toothpaste residue isn’t           left in the sink or prescription medications are left out in the           open. “Buyers want to feel clean in the bathroom … they don’t need           to be reminded that they will be taking over a ‘used’ bathroom,”           according to the Zillow article.
