Patience is required when trying to sell your home. How soon you sell and what you sell it for will depend on a lot of things. What many sellers don’t understand is that there are certain things that can turn a buyer off. Buyers make judgments the moment they pull into the driveway – even sooner. Here are some things that could effect whether you sell the home or not.

– A Koi Pond: Any decorative body of water must be clean and pristine. It can add value, but only if it’s in tip top condition. Any algae, dirt, foul odor, etc is a turn off.
– A Pool: Some buyers could see your outdoor pool as a headache. They fear the maintenance and additional insurance.
