It’s easy to focus on the big stuff—paint, curb appeal, staging—but small details matter more than you think when selling your home 🧐. Here are five things that get overlooked but can instantly turn buyers off:
🧼 1. Dirty air vents or return filters. They scream neglect, even if the home is spotless otherwise.
🔧 2. Minor safety issues. Wobbly stair rails, loose doorknobs, or missing smoke detectors make buyers uneasy.
🌿 3. Messy landscaping. Even if your lawn is cut, dead plants or weedy flowerbeds can make your home look tired.
💡 4. Broken or outdated light fixtures. Swap them for something modern and clean—it makes a big difference.
🐾 5. Lingering smells. Pet odor, smoke, or last night’s takeout? Don’t risk it. Deep clean or deodorize before showings.
Buyers notice the details. Get these right, and you’re one step closer to that dream offer 🏡
