The Five Biggest Turn-Offs For Homeowners

The Five Biggest Turn-Offs For Homeowners

Top 5 Home Selling Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them In this informative video, we discuss the five things that generally deter buyers and make a house stay longer on the market. Overpricing is the first mistake to avoid; your home is only worth what buyers are willing to pay for it. Second, it's not just unpleasant smells like pet odors, mold, or smoke that can turn off a buyer, but also unkempt areas where a pet may have urinated. Also, clutter in your home can cause potential buyers to lose interest. Your house should be free of deferred maintenance issues such as faulty appliances, switches, etc., as that could raise doubts about its quality. Lastly, outdated decor can make a house feel older than it is. Ensure all areas, including lights, fixtures, doorknobs, counters, and cabinets, look modern and fresh. By avoiding these mistakes, you can better prepare your house for selling and make it more appealing to potential buyers. 00:00 Introduction 00:39 The Importance of Correct Pricing 01:23 The Impact of Unpleasant Smells 02:26 The Effect of Clutter 03:25 The Consequences of Deferred Maintenance 04:19 The Downside of Dark and Dated Decor 04:54 Conclusion: Selling Your House As-Is, Repaired, or Turnkey

JP the Veteran Coach


Today we're talking to JP and he is a Marine veteran I met him on TikTok and this guy,  he's got such a great point of transitioning from the military active service to civilian and it's such a great mindset, and Patrick, I don't know if you had a chance to watch any of his videos but it's just  You know, you're going to have shit days, right?


And, when I transitioned out, I had so many horrible days. For me,, my bridge was. I wanted to find people who were like me, who had that same story, so what I did was I created this program where I go back to my, I went to San Jose State, graduated there, and they have the VRC, the Veterans Resource Center, so there's a plethora of veterans there. I go there and talk to them about selling houses, I don't try to sell them on anything, I'm about buying houses, creating legacy, creating a budget, and then this whole financial thing started, and that's where we are today.
