Top 10 Reasons a House Won't Sell

You're always hearing what WILL sell a house, how about considering what won't sell a house. Here are my top 10 reasons a house won't sell ... and believe me, I've been in houses just like these!

#10 House looks "tired" ... Even more tired than I am after driving around showing properties

#9 Paint is peeling, faded, yard is overgrown and who knows what's living in the grass! Ladies with pedicured toes and strappy sandles just hate stepping on fire ants!

#8 Flowers and shrubs died years ago, were never removed and only their sad stubble remains.

#7 Front door hasn't been painted or even cleaned -- well -- forever!

#6 Interior greets us in darkness because the Sellers have turned off the electricity to save money!

#5 House is incredibly hot ... See #6

#4 Yikes, no one thought to clean out the frig! Shut the door FAST!

#3 Electricity is off well so is the water ... Don't even look in the toilet!

#2 Something must have died in the garage ... Could it be old garbage?

#1 The house stinks!
