An open house is often a daunting experience but not for the expected reason — that is, strangers who treat your home like it’s one of the properties on an HGTV show. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Northville and Novi neighborhoods and we know that the most challenging part of the open house is when your real estate agent schedules one three days from now and your home looks like a hoarder’s nest. A messy home can directly impact anything from whether or not a potential buyer will make an offer to the amount of their offer. Rare is the buyer who can see past disarray. We have seen that when a property is cluttered, it’s difficult for a buyer to imagine what it will look like when they move in. We have had very anxious buyers now who want to buy fast, but will note what’s move-in condition and what’s not. You have to go the extra mile to get the buyer to understand what it’ll look like when they move in, and they won’t be able to do that if your home is cluttered.
