If you don't mind a non-Realtors® chiming in, here are some of the things we notice.
- The average house would look better with about 30% of the owners belongings removed. Many would look better only after 50% is remove and some need to have 80%+ removed.
- Nothing makes a house look dirtier than dirty windows and dirty walls.
- You cannot hide a smelly house using perfume, candles and other scents. These only make thing worse. Either fix the problem or be upfront about it.
- The best home can be ruined by the barking dogs next door
- If you give directions make sure they are right.
- If you give a time, make sure you are there.
- Sorry - but that $200 fit in your pocket point and shoot, does not take high quality real estate photos. It's set to take decent photos of people and activities, not real estate.
