9 Details That Are Easily Ignored, But So Important When Selling Your Home

When showing homes these are some of the things that buyers look at,👀 make comments on, and might change their minds about purchasing👈️ your home:

1️⃣ Burnt-out lightbulbs - it seems simple, and not something catastrophic that would change someone's mind, but you would be surprised what people can say about lightbulbs.

2️⃣ Dusty light fixtures - when you look up at that light fixture and it is covered in dust it is an instant turn off

3️⃣ Dusty Vents - almost always missed by sellers but noticed by buyers, these things can get GROSS, so make sure to clean them off.

4️⃣ Bathroom vents - buyer will turn these on to make sure they are working, then look up at them. If it is all covered in dust it is just one more thing that is dirty in the house and needs to be done

5️⃣ Squeaky doors - make sure they all close quietly and well

6️⃣ Dirty windows - dirt can be mistaken for a window with a broken seal. Make sure the buyer has a beautiful clear view of their yard from inside the house

7️⃣ Dirty sliding door jam - I don't like cleaning this any more than you do, but make sure that it is all clear of gunk and sliding perfectly

8️⃣ Dusty ceiling fans - again, buyers look up, they are admiring those fans, so make sure they aren't coated in dust

9️⃣ Dirty walls - the best thing here might even be a coat of paint, but start with giving them a good clean. So many times I have seen filthy walls around light switches and doors where hands often are and it is an instant turn-off.

All of this you can do yourself and doesn't add any extra expenses to selling your home, but it has a huge impact on the buyer's thoughts when they go into your home.😃
