    if i ever had to buy a house (hope not because just built one) the last thing i will be looking at are open toilet lids, color of the walls , overgrow landscape and clutter.. or dirty laundry...
    i will be lookin at the foundation, walls, year built, windows and all possible structural issue. I can paint the house myself, all personal areas like bathrooms would go through a sanitation / replacement anyway. Door knobs - i don't care, i probably wont like them anyway.. I mean it's nice to buy a worry - free house, but it has to be new then. And even then it's not a guarantee that it was built right. I would take a solid built house with orange walls and old commodes (replace them) any time instead of some shiny macmansion in where you can hear every sneeze or worse..

    Clutter isn’t limited to things that don’t belong. People need to do a thorough cleansing of items. Put all the soap away in the kitchen, put appliances away. But this should be done in every room. The things you think are treasures may be hideous to someone else. Put all the tchotchkes away.

    As far as the hole in the wall--i think it is okay to cover for showing so as not to deter buyers, but it will need to be fixed-- otherwise it should be listed in the contract during negotiations.

      I know. I don't get it. I think the realtor needs to politely point that out because as a buyer, if I see an untidy home, it tells me the homeowners haven't cared for their home.

    When I was looking for a house, it always turned me off to smell those Glade plug-ins. It was the worst artificial smell and made me wonder what they were trying to cover up.

    If you haven’t mentioned leaving stuff that you don’t want to take so you leave it for the buyer to get rid of it, Or every closet has , hangers, old clothes, leftover old tv junk. Old paint, old yard stuff.

    For me, it is when the house looks like a crack house. I don't understand why agents don't say, "Put all the clutter in boxes and place in your car so that we can photograph this." Another thing I can't stand are bad photographers. How hard is it to turn around and take a picture of the other side of the room? Why did they only take a picture of a doorknob and baseboard?

    Dirty ovens and dishwashers full of dirty dishes. Also trash cans especially if overflowing with trash….and wet showers/tubs. Like the owner just left following a shower. Dogs and cats left at homes. They will be in a cage in garage. Barking their heads off. Take your pets with you during showings..

    Sigh. Realtors must be very rich people. They say "This is easily fixed" and I hear 'major cash investment'. This is why I'm cynical about the housing scarcity.

      Most realtors net less than 50k full time .don't take it personally. Think about you feeling exactly the same last time you were a buyer. Buyers turn off and walk out for these reasons while sellers takes longer to sell...sells for less..and pays the bills until it sells. If you are a seller listen if u want or don't if you want to net less and take longer to sell . You don't have to shoot the messenger telling you the truth. Any realtor can show you pages of homes with pictures that sold fast that realtors call shows very well . Look at days on market and price. Then ask to see homes near you that took a long time to sell..guarantee you will see the difference in showing conditions and price sold even for same floor plan same builder same year built same neighborhood. Ask your realtor to show u. I have opened doors for buyers who said let's go in 15 seconds for just one of the items she discussed

    Smell of pot, cigarettes, animals, potpourri, mildew, and strong spices. Paint color: gray, black, baby blue, pink. Clutter or house not even clean. I won't even look at a house if the homeowner stays. Yard not well kept. Too much furniture or nasty furniture. I would rather see an empty house.
