Recently, I had a seller come up to me frustrated with their home sale. It sat on the market with another agent for over a year and would not sell. So I asked what they'd been doing to sell the property. Over the course of that year they had dropped the price on the home over $100,000! You'd think dropping the price would be enough right? But it was not working. So we stopped and analyzed the situation.
I went to the property and offered a few suggestions to help the home show better. First of all you couldn't see the home from the street, so we did a little landscaping. Then I had them replace the wood covers on their light and electrical sockets, as well as cover some of the wood trim and surfaces, with neutral colors. Some of the handles on drawers and cabinets were dated so we replaced those. The result was a drastic change in the home's appearance.
