Today I'd like to talk about three very common buyer turnoffs. If you can avoid these issues when you're selling your home in Bloomington, then you have a much better chance of selling quickly and for top dollar.

One major turnoff is a dirty kitchen and dirty bathrooms. These are major selling points in your home, and they need to be sparkling clean, along with the rest of your home. Putting in a little elbow grease can pay dividends when you close on a property. You may even need to hire a professional to come and clean your property.

The second thing that can turn buyers away is a home that is cluttered and disorganized. We accumulate a lot of things when we live in a home, but they don't belong in the home when you're trying to sell it. Buyers don't want to see a wall covered with trophies and photos, they want to see your home for what it is. Remove collections of photographs, artwork, or anything else that obscures the buyer's perception of your home. Aim to put away at least half of the things that you own, or take this time to donate some things to charity.

The third thing that can literally push buyers away is a smelly home. You may have infants, or pets, or maybe you cook a lot of cabbage or curry. It may not even be that your home stinks, it just smells differently than what people are used to. Try to neutralize your home with Febreze, but don't use too much because people will then think that you're trying to hide something.

If you can avoid these three things, you home should impress buyers and that will increase your chances of selling quickly and for top dollar in Bloomington!
