Are TV Antennas Turning Away Your Buyers?

Yes say many agents. Why is this so? Many think antennas can detract from curb appeal and signal to buyers that the rest of the property is potentially a wreck. "It's a sign that other things may be wrong," said Ron Perone, of Herricks Realty in New Hyde Park, N.Y., "a sign that the home has been neglected."

Antennas can also be a hazard. If knocked loose in high winds, they can tear up the roof or slash through a neighborhood like a scythe. They also make perfect targets for lightning strikes. Sellers, get rid of them!
