    I don’t get the not letting go of family photos though? You not getting rid of them you are just taking them down off the wall and you would have to do that anyway if you moved. The house looked fabulous afterwards!

    I don't get any of these people. They don't want to live there anymore but they're still, "Oh, don't change anything! We have to have a zillion pics of our kids on the wall while we try to unload this place!" The After is stunning!

    Lol, those original listing pictures 😂 what were they thinking? Picture of a wall/doorway, picture of their kids in the middle of a bunch of toys on the ground, an a picture of a hallway leading to a bedroom instead of a picture of the bedroom itself 🤣

    I sympathize with the mom's difficulty letting go, but it's SUCH good advice to take down every single family photo. Buyers need to be able to visualize their own life in a clean-slate space, not feel like they're evicting a family that still wants to live there. It can help to focus on the positives if you can't move out while the house is being shown. You are giving someone the gift of a space that's meant a lot to you, and (if you're willing to visually move out while still living there), they're giving you a LOT more $$$ that could be meaningful to your family.

    It’s another time of the year. One need to set goals and take a bold step in achieving them. Remember success are not obtained overnight. It’s comes in installments; you get a little bit today a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out the day you procrastinate you lose that day of success.

      My portfolio is very much diversified so it's not like i have a particular fund i invest in. plus i don't do that by myself. i follow the trades of KAREN GAYE GRAY. She is a popular broker you might have heard of. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as a financial adviser as her diversification skills are top notch/ I say because i see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 10 to 15% on a monthly basis. unlike i can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along. my portfolio just mirrors what she
      trades and not just on some particular industries of my choosing.

    I'm not from the US, so I don't quite get it. Could someone explain, why won't people buy a cheaper house and then renovate it the way they want? I mean, you won't convince me that you absolute love EVERYTHING in that house. Eventually you will want to change something. Also, you won't buy a house because the wall is red? Really? Come on, you can paint it the way you want. I don't get it. Is it that the people are to lazy to renovate, or that they just don't have any imagination what and how to change?
    Folks in my country mostly buy houses to renovate, because they are much more cheaper and they want to renovate them how they please.

      Not everyone wants to go through the stress, work, and upheaval of selling their own house, moving, and then getting into the mess, work, and expense in the new place. This way, the new owners can move in and do nothing. They might want to change something down the road, but they're not moving into the disaster this place was. Redoing kitchens and bathrooms is very expensive, inconvenient, and chaotic.
