There's NO excuse!!!!
One of my very favorite clients grew up in a dirt floor cabin out in southwest Virginia. When we looked at houses, he would get so frustrated by the lack of cleanliness. He once said to me, "You know Tina, I grew up poor...extremely poor, with 8 brothers and sisters in a 2 bedroom cabin. But we were grateful for what we had and took care of it. You don't have to have money to be clean".
PLEASE! Clean your house before and during it's time on the market! If you can't clean it, find someone who can. Your home is on display when potential buyers come to visit....if it looks nasty and unkempt, they will be turned off.
When you visit a car lot, are the cars dirty and smelly? No! Who would want to buy them if they were?
When you go furniture shopping, are there stains and pet hair on the sofas? I'd hope not! The store would be out of business fast!
When you go to Home Depot to look at bathroom vanities, are there hairs in the sinks? I'd bet someone would get fired if there were....
So, get the Pinesol out and SCRUB that house! Make it look like it was cleaned with a Q-tip! Show buyers a product you are proud to display and they are pleased to view.
