How to Sabotage Your Home Sale

When you’re selling a home in Lake City or one of the surrounding communities, it’s important you talk to your Realtor(R) about what you can do to help him sell it faster.

But there are a few things you might be doing that are actually sabotaging your sale.

Here’s what you need to know.

Bad paint choices
Too much of your personal style
Failing to be flexible for showings

Bad Paint Choices

Buyers want neutral colors. They know they can repaint if they want a big, red wall in the bedroom – but they won’t see past it if there’s already one there.

If your home is full of bold colors that could be considered eccentric or eclectic, it’s time to pull out the roller and buy a few buckets of beige.

Too Much of Your Personal Style

Don’t distract your buyers with your personalized decor. Let them see your home’s fabulous features without distraction. Take down family photos, religious items and even seasonal decor – replace it all with neutral, almost-boring objects that won’t pull a buyer’s attention from any room.

Failing to Be Flexible for Showings

You have to be ready to show the home when buyers want to see it. Every showing you turn down slims your chances of selling your home quickly, so make sure you’re flexible enough to accommodate the majority of buyers.
