simonsayzsold “What Sellers Forget… But Buyers NEVER Do 👃👀” We’re officially in a buyer’s market — and that means your home is in a beauty pageant. 🏡💅 Buyers are judging everything, and if they catch even a whiff of “ick” the moment they walk in… it’s over. Here’s what sellers often overlook (but buyers always notice): 🚪 Smells — This is the #1 deal killer. Pet odours, too much air freshner, old cooking grease, or that musty “we never open windows” vibe? Instant turnoff. 🪟 Dirty windows & blinds — If light can’t shine through, neither can value. 💡 Burnt-out bulbs — Poor lighting makes homes feel smaller, darker, and forgotten. 🕸️ Dusty vents, cobwebs, and baseboards — These scream neglect, even in beautiful homes. ⚡ Grimy light switches — Seems minor… until a buyer subconsciously wonders what else is dirty. 🚫 Missing smoke detectors — Red flag. Makes buyers question what else you’ve skipped. 🛠️ Loose handles, crooked outlets, half-done DIY — Buyers see every little shortcut. 👉 First impressions make or break a showing. If they get the “ick” in the first 10 seconds, it doesn’t matter how nice the kitchen is. Want my full prep checklist that gets buyers to say “WOW” the moment they step inside? 📲 DM me “SELL READY” and I’ll send it over — no pressure, just pro tips. #HomeSellingTips #SellersMarketPrep #BuyersNoticeEverything #RealEstateTips #FirstImpressionsMatter #BrantfordRealEstate #CambridgeRealEstate #KWRealEstate #OntarioRealtor #HomeStagingMatters #RealEstateAdvice #SimonSayzSold #ListItRight #SellSmart #RealtorLife #HomePrepChecklist
