Helpful Hints for Home Sellers

So, we are still trying to sell our Georgia home. And we are still trying to find the perfect home in Texas. During our many viewings of potential homes, I have come up with a couple helpful hints.

3. Don't over exaggerate your lot size. I realize that the backyards that are the size of a 3 car driveway versus a 2 car driveway might seem not quite as small. But they are by no means HUGE. In any way. Don't list them as such. A HUGE backyard needs to be at least big enough that you can stand at your back door and spit a watermelon seed and NOT hit your back fence. I'm just sayin.

2. If you know there is someone coming to view your home, and you have had time to prepare, and you are actually still in the home when they show up, you might just want to take a quick run through the house before they come in and make sure there are no 3 inch long cockroaches on the wall next to the kitchen. They are just not acceptable in polite society. And they make potential homebuyers question if it is the baby or the mama. Just a friendly hint there for ya.

1. If you happen to hang around while the home buyers are looking, and you are feeling rather chatty, you might not want to mention that you are moving because your husband died in this house. And also that you bought the house from a man whose wife died in this house. Because even if the home buyer is NOT A BIT superstitious, the wife will surely get back in the car and yell "There is no way we are buying a house in which the last 2 spouses have died!!!!!" No matter how pretty it is.
