Old Mossy Horns
24 Months on the market over the past 30 months.
- Don't try to sell a $280000 home in a $130000 county.....in fact, don't buy a $280000 home in a $130000 county.
- Your life will be hell as you try your best to live in your home in a way that doesn't look like two adults, three children, a mother in law, 4 dogs, 2 rats and all the children's friends also live there.
- Your life will descend into the infernal realm as you try to pack all of the above into a car on 30 minutes notice that a potential customer wants to see the home.....the longer you went with out a showing the more likely it is the dog will crap on the floor just as you're going out the door and the customer pulls in at the same time.
- You will get low balled. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
- No matter what color you paint the interior, it will be wrong.....the same go's for new cabinets, new floors, new roof, new walls, new yard, new driveway, ........insert your upgrade here......
- If the house is brick, it'll be wrong after they look at it, same for siding, vynal, T111, random rock, stucco, etc.....
- Whether or not you landscape it, it will be wrong.
- Do not post the floor plan on line in the MLS, or Do....either way, the floor plan won't work after the customer sees the house.
- The deck will either be too big, too small, too high, too low, crooked, not round, too rough on the decking, needs paint, wrong color if just painted, etc.
- No matter how much you clean, the buyers will find a dog hair and demand that the house boiled in bleach before they make an offer.
- Your children will not be well behaved whenever you have to trundle them out to the car for a showing....neither will your dogs. In fact, the children and the dogs will all be in the back of the car howling and fighting until the showing is over.
- Your Mother in Law will be participating in the Dog-Child fights, alternating sides at random.
- Don't bother advertising the size of your lot, it is the wrong size by default for every single customer, including the final buyer.
Finally.....
I think its best to consider,......
Next time you want to sell your home, Don't.
Just let the bank Forclose on it. Its got to be easier.
God help me....I signed the sale contract today and I hope like hellsbells that this is it!
