There's a common thread that runs through my discussions with my new clients who were previously unsuccessful in selling their homes. It's a touchy subject, those 300 days on the market, and what may have gone wrong. I start with the question, "What should we NOT do this time." It might be more palatable, and the few simple solutions can flow from that goodwill. "What I need to do" is yet another pressure point for an already pressured home seller. Let's say, "I won't do X," this time. It sounds easier already, doesn't it.
Marketing the house "as is," shouldn't mean, "with crayon stained baseboards included." The "as is" is less of a liability if I've done some drywall patching, painting and cleaning. I understand… Jacksonville Home Sellers, Stop and Think About What Not To Do
