Transcript: Hey, it's Wayne Turner here. I hope you're having a great day. I want to do, uh, talk a little bit about on what not to do when you're selling your house. And, uh, the National Association of Realtors does lots of studies, and research, and questionnaires with buyers and, and what help sale, what doesn't help sale, what buyers like, what doesn't buyers like, you know, what they, what they don't like in terms of the property.
But here's the one, the one, the number one thing that you can do when selling your property or shall I say not do. Don't do this. If you put your home on the market, regardless of who has it listed for sale, don't do this one thing. Let me tell you that one thing is, staying in the house when the buyer shows up to look at your home. Do not follow them around. Do not be present. Just leave. Real estate agents are, are, uh, they're licensed. They're bonded. They're ensured and in 20 years I've never had anything taken or stolen out of the property, so things like guns, jewelry, personal items, just put them away when your home is on the market. And most importantly, uh, leave. Leave the house. It's for your benefit in terms of selling the property. You don't want to be there.
If you can, get the pets out of the property. Don't get me wrong. I love my animals. I've got two dogs and a cat, and, and I love my animals, but when I put my personal home on the market, I've got to get that stuff out of there. You know, I got to get the animals out. It's an inconvenience putting your home on the market without a shadow of a doubt...
I just wanted to share with you the most important thing you can do is let it be shown. Um, try not to ever miss a showing. Let a lock box be put on the property. You'll have plenty of notice before ever showing. And most importantly, just scurry out. They'll give you a time frame. Uh, you'll know when, who's going to come in and look at it, when they're going to be there, what time. Of course, when you list with us, we're going to give you feedback. We text the agent. We call the agent. We email. You're going to know exactly what that buyer thought about the property, good or bad. If there's anything that can be done to, you know ... If they don't, you know, they don't like the color of the paint, then we can give a paint allowance, or a fence, or anything like that.
So, anyway, I hope these little tips help. If there's anything that I can do personally to help you sell your home, don't hesitate to call me.
