House Buying For Dummies

When I sold my grandparents' house in 2006, I must've had a genius agent because she did nothing like what these people did. Or maybe my agent was doing it all wrong and homes are supposed to be on the market for 90+ days.... (oh, I know, the market is bad, blah, blah, blah)

Have the camera auto focus on the good parts of your curb appeal


Be sure to have someone point out what's for sale

Clearly state what is NOT for sale


Clear the counters of rotten fruit

Show amenities, like trash service

Show that you've done due diligence in cleaning up


And of course...
Have flowers & Jesus bless each room
