Buyers Should look for Potential

As I show homes to buyers, many look only at exactly what is there. If the house is messy, that is all they see. If the house has family pictures, they spend time looking at the pictures. No home is perfect. As a listing agent, I make suggestions to a seller of the items they need to do to put their house in the best light. If that means removing extra furniture to make the rooms look bigger, then so be it. If it means removing some of the family pictures or painting a wall, so be it.

If I am representing a buyer, a try to get them to look for the potential in a home. Look at the room layout and sizes. Are they good? If so, the flooring can be changed, the wall color can be changed. Lot for the potential and you could find a diamond in the rough.
