Selling a home in Tucson requires a process of important steps so that you don’t jeopardize your home sale. Just a simple misstep can create huge problems. And a huge misstep can generate problems that prevent the sale of the home.
Here are 6 problems that Tucson sellers should try to avoid when selling their house.
- Funky Smells
Not to be rude, but every Tucson house has a smell. Some homes smell amazing while others just don’t. Prospective home buyers will key into the smells and can quickly make a decision about the house without even looking around.
Some smells, such as smoking can stick around for a long time. Cigarette smoke gets into clothing and furniture and lingers for a while. Non-smokers can instantly notice if the current homeowners are smokers.
Pet smells are another problem. No matter how clean you keep your Tucson house, pets will leave behind a bit of an odor.
A good way to see if your home has odors is to invite someone over who does not visit your home very often and have them judge the smell of the home. This will provide you with a starting point on whether you need to fix the problem.
- Personalizing
One of the benefits of Tucson home ownership is the ability to personalize it. Perhaps you enjoy a dramatic dining room, or a brightly colored office or murals in the nursery. When it comes to selling your Tucson house, these personalization’s could jeopardize the sale.
You should try to avoid having unusual or crazy artwork on the walls. Blank walls and neutral space allow the potential buyer to envision their personal belongings on the space. Keep in mind that your personal items remind visitors that they are walking through a stranger’s home instead of encouraging them to think of it as their next home.
- Awkward Schedules
Not everyone gets to work a regular 9-5 schedule. And sometimes potential buyer may need to tour your home at a less than favorable time for you. Tucson homeowners need to make every effort to make their home available at any time.
You don’t want to tell a buyer to come back at a better time for you. Most buyers will not come back but will find something else to look at.
- Don’t Watch the Process
It is so tempting to want to see what others think of your Tucson house. Most sellers know that you should leave your home during a showing to put buyers at ease. But in this age with so many homes with security cameras installed, these can make buyers feel uneasy.
Consider turning the video recordings off during your showings to help the buyer feel more at ease. And will allow them to be more comfortable about asking the realtor questions about the home.
- Hanging Around
You may know that buyers hate it when sellers hang around the house during a showing. But it still happens. Most buyers are afraid to ask questions or make comments with the seller just around the corner. Instead, they will just be focused on leaving to escape the awkward situation.
- Playing Pretend
This misstep can really cause big problems. This is when buyers are in the home and the seller or one of their friends walks through the house pointing out and commenting about the house, usually in a very loud voice. Most buyers are not impressed by this obnoxious behavior. They may find it distracting or may intimate some buyers into leaving early.
Homeowners can go to some strange lengths to try to sell their home. And most often, they backfire, which makes it harder to get the job done.
