This video tells a tale of 7 home buyer turn offs, sellers should beware of before putting their home on the market!!

1. Dirt and Grim is the first way to make buyers scream!!! By not cleaning your home, you're showing buyers that you don't care and if you don't care about cleaning what else isn't being maintained in the home? The boiler, foundation cracks, a leaky roof???

2. Speaking of leaky, leaving water stains untreated around your home is a big red flag for buyers. While the leaky roof or sink may now be fixed, buyers will look at the stain and see dollar signs is there a structural or mold problem...two issues that costs thousands to fix.

3. Foul odors will have buyers running to the door. Cooking, smoking, pets and mildew or mold are offensive smells that can leave much to be desired in a home. By leaving these smells to linger you'll be distracting buyers from focusing on the home's positive features.

4. The fourth way a seller can frighten buyers is by having unwated guests. Some insects and pests invading your home are unhealthy and can cause major damage to the home's structure. Be sure to look closely at your interior and exterior signs of breaking and entering, also look to professionals to help control infestation. 

5. Another frightening scene being played out during showings can be hanging right infront of you. Wallpaper always scares buyers off because of the labor and cost to peel it down. Do yourself a favor and remove it before putting your home on the market so you avoid low ball offers. It will most likely cost less than the costs buyers had in mind to fix it.

6. Another gut-wrenching home decor faux pas has to do with popcorn! No not the kind of popcorn that you eat, the kind of popcorn that hangs high above you. Popcorn acoustic ceilings from the 60's and 70's are a major turn off for buyers. They not only date the space, but removing the white stuff in the entire home can be a huge costly mess. If you're not willing to tackle this project as a seller, how can you expect buyers to without an incentive....psst...I mean buyer credit!!

7. The last way to turn off a buyer, and in my eyes the most offensive is misrepresenting your home online. If you're expecting to see a home like this......and it ends up looking like this well....the buyer is going to be mad and disappointed, even feel betrayed because you didn't disclose the right information and wasted their time.

Do these deal breakers lurk in your home? Do they have you scared straight? Buyers what is one thing that leaves a sour taste in your mouth? Inquiring minds want to know so post your comments below.
