SELLING: WHAT NOT TO DO
Experience the Difference with The Jimmy Dulin Group

Not in any particular order here...feel free to let us know if you have a personal anecdote to add to our list of "things we hate" when showing a house.

  • Access is not provided. The door is blocked by snow, the front gate is locked, or the path is not lit at night.
  • Clutter, clutter everywhere. The garden hose is snaked on the front walkway. Shoes are piled in the foyer. The kitchen is "well used."
  • Letting your house guests sleep in until the last moment. We hate to wake 'em up to show the room.
  • Gloomy rooms. Put the lights on; open up the drapes or replace the drapes with sheers.
  • We love Rover, but not greeting us at the front door, ready to play!
  • We love Kitty, but not the smell of the litter. Make sure this odor, and all other unpleasant odors, are eradicated.
  • Your children are wonderful too, but take them to the park or a museum during show time.
  • Great house on the inside, but no curb appeal. It's hard to get the buyer through the front door! Think "exterior staging" in addition to interior staging.
  • Water stains on the ceiling. By this time, you've fixed the source of the leak (we hope!). Make sure the after-damage is fixed too with new plastering, priming and paint.
  • Dusty fake house plants.
  • "Experimental" colors: That peachy-tangerine matched your decor, but it's not likely to match the buyer's. Neutralize it with a fresh coat of paint.

Here's what to do: Seller's Checklist.
We will let you know when a prospective buyer is coming to see your house. We can also provide lots of expertise in getting your home ready for "show time."
