Love the dated house
Comment from : @SandyFerguson-o8z

I sort of did exactly what you advise here about searching Sold houses — after our home had been on the market for 6 months (at the wrong time of year) What i noticed was that our floors were showing well in photos but had some condition and quality issues Houses that were quite similar to ours but with LVP flooring HAD sold We spent $6500 putting LVP in LR and hall and carpet in 3 bedrooms (kitchen and 2 baths had neutral porcelain tile from 2017 and 2019) That study was enlightening

I dislike disagree staging I like empty houses because I can imagine furniture
Comment from : @victorialarkin5802

I’d rather have dated in excellent condition!

f zillow they are crooked
Comment from : @dennisward4855

I'm an old school property manager We like making 100 y/o places look like brand new high quality 100 y/o places been doing this for many years and knowing we are getting less renter options and, when selling, the price per sf, as compared to "new" designed rehabs, sell for less I know this, but, do it as I choose to
Comment from : @krispinlihme529

Those “dated” kitchens were gorgeous! That’s exactly what I want in a home…character I absolutely do not want a gray house! If I see painted wood trim I’m walking right out the door!
Comment from : @MCat360

I recently looked at a beautiful home but unfortunately each room was a different color They weren't neutral colors either Bright orange, yellow, and blue I called it the rainbow house It sat on the market for almost a year Paint is expensive but i might have considered painting some of the rooms if i was the owner
Comment from : @karendesalva7674

I have been looking at houses and see the same thing over and over again Cheap grey fake wood floors Pale grey walls with white trim Kitchens all look the same Very boring and cookie cutter Bland
Comment from : @DeborahFosen-hx3hv

You always have such great information to pass on to sellers and buyers and it’s greatly appreciated Thank you!
Comment from : @brendaw7597

I have a large spoon collection, but after your comment, now I'm embarrassed of it :-(
Comment from : @DivineRevelationsSpiritlessons

I bought a house with knotted wood panels Good quality and cozy feeling but looks dated Debating should I take off all the wood panels and re-drywall or paint over the panels 😅
Comment from : @qiaolehuang3401

Men and women look at houses differently The things that bother you don’t bother me
Comment from : @ltcajh

One can also look at homes that have been for sale for a very long time in your area and try to look for a reason why But that is a different vid you already shot 😉brI mean in addition to price like slope yard high chance flooding etc that also affect price
Comment from : @amanacatandhisdog8836

The house you're showing is what people can't afford on average because those homes are professionally staged and brand new brThe houses that are affordable are cheaply built and old everything is old old, old Messy, sticky with a poor floorplan to boot Dirty, disorganized Bad vibes if the walls could talk! All that $$$$$$ are you kidding me??? There are lazy folks who won't garden or do necessary maintenance care or plant anything fresh
Comment from : @allegrabraun7545

I bought three homes in my life time and didn't give a rat's ass how those homes were being staged I saw nothing when walking in exept for the bared floor and walls I paid for them because the prices were right Why would any fool paying extras $$$ for staged furnitures that will be long gone even before a sale contract ink dried?
Comment from : @bigd7121

Following color trends (like 50 Shades of Grey😊) is absolutely stupid when looking for a home You have to paint most of the walls anyway (unless you are buying new or renovated homes) because when the furniture is moved or replaced, showing sun fade, picture marks, and damaged areas If the house is 10 or older, you must replace all the electrical outlets to prevent fire!
Comment from : @endrebuza

House number 3 I would buy in a heartbeat That wood work sells the house for me Stop painting woodwork
Comment from : @shymoment

I don’t think virtual stage should be allowed I am one of those weird people that I don’t wanna have staged at all
Comment from : @nogames8982

I get it that you want everything to look good But I think you should also get an idea of what the house actually looks like and sometimes the photography doesn’t do that when my dad sold his house I went online to look at it, and I literally did not recognize it It was misrepresented with the photos I think If I was a buyer, I probably would not have been thrilled But I guess all is fair in this game
Comment from : @nogames8982

Personally, I would rather buy a house like the one with all of the wood trim, even though it’s dated, it has more character I’m tired of boring white kitchens that all look the same But Thank you for your tips! I’ve stripped our home of all personal photos and clutter and staged myself the best I can A Clean sparkly house is so important too!
Comment from : @angieherron5305

AAAGGHHH!!! Did you really say those floors need to be REPLACED?? OMG - I love all of your advice usually until this comment As viewers watch they are going to get the impression that it is okay to lay LVP over these gorgeous heart pine floors! They need to be refinished - yes, you say it a moment later, but there is no floor with greater value to a historical home (this home is obviously old, like late 19th century) than heart pine floors Sorry - just had to jump in and say this because most sellers will take the cheap way out (LVP) vs bringing out the original beauty of a home like this As an agent, I hate band-aids used in prepping a home for sale - turn of the century buyers are a niche and the true lovers of old homes will take those banged up floors anyway over some cheap substitute! brAs for the house that needs better photos - it was priced at $102/SF - you cannot even build a trailer for that these days I'd grab that just to flip!
Comment from : @dontsaycant2448

Be interesting to see the "must dos" on rural property with land Zillow is usually a miss on these types of property
Comment from : @ScottMarquardt-s7u

Great info, really appreciate your video
Comment from : @amberlygriffin2330

I am not sure about the staging Virtual staging I do not like I got disappointed when I saw the actual house For the actual staging, I do not like it also because I may not see the actual things that I will buy All the attention I got are the staging things that they will not be there when I move in I may ignore the most important things because of the staging Recently, I went to see a house, the staging of all the room almost made me ignore the crucial things for this house I try to erase all the staging things from my head and think of this house, for example, the flow of the house We ended up walk away
Comment from : @JimmyLD666

When you are saying not to show floors … let them get there to see it … brWhy be dishonest People don’t have time for that brbrI get fixing the floors But not hiding them
Comment from : @brendaloyd5581

I completely disagree with a lot of your points as a person currently home shopping Leaving out pictures on purpose of work that needs to be done wastes buyers, seller & realtors time and makes them feel duped Yes, take great pics of the good parts but don’t exclude rooms that need work, the people who don’t mind doing the work are still going to come and those are the buyers anyways! Also for the love of god please put floor plans in too!

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire
Comment from : @Riggsnic_co

Not good to put too much effort into a home because people do lower offers anyway
Comment from : @TrialSnTangibles

Gave me no viable information that is not general Just leads you on

Comment from : @7032788502

I think it's time to make it more appealing for potential buyers Real estate can be quite the rollercoaster! the stress and uncertainty are getting to me I think I'll cut rents to attract potential buyers and exit the market, but i'm at crossroads if to allocate the entire $680k liquidity value to my stock portfolio?
Comment from : @tatianastarcic

If you don’t see a functioning tv everything is staged Remember the cable is only in one side of the room and u May not be able to furnish it the same Personally I want to see all the outlets Pay attention to the outlets when u see a stage place
Comment from : @mishka5706

Youre videos really helpful I wish you were in CA
Comment from : @jujubee90275

This was a great video Thank you! Can you tell me if I need to spend $1700000 to paint a 2400 sqft house to sell? I'm also replacing the HVAC between 9K and 11K Is this too much to spend to sell? Does the time of year really matter?
Comment from : @lovematters7122

I love the look of mid-century through 80s homes I hate the belief that all homes should be homogenized to a blank slate beigeness Could we be turning off the same number of prospects as we attract with this approach? The thought of people painting that beautiful trim to hide it makes my skin crawl Have you ever cut and installed stain-grade trim? I love-hate realtors

Comment from : @randyburns3842

I don’t see anything wrong with the house you said was dated Looks gorgeous to my taste I like warm colors and the warmth of wood Our neighbor has “updated” with minimalist decor and grey fake wood (vinyl) floors! I wouldn’t have it as a gift! I HATE grey!brI can’t believe that most people would prefer grey!brWe’re offwhite walls, salmon carpet, light green or gold draperies, and papered kitchen and bathroomsbrWe need a complete reno, but no way would I go with cool colors

Thankyou so much for your call today
Comment from : @jillchaban7693

I can't believe I'm having a hard time finding a house and you're talking about color paint and floors do you know how simple that is you could paint the house with a few hundred dollars and a painter for another few hundred dollars every surface the floor for a few hundred dollars a room you're talking peanuts find me a house and stop complaining
Comment from : @HomeJames-t3p

Don't paint the wood!!! So far was the nicest home you have shown
Comment from : @ида0101

Comment from : @thatguy7085

@9:15 you mention the floors are "in completely bad condition" and would "definitely probably need to be replaced"brThose are original wood floors with character It only needs suface sanding and polyurethane coat to look awesome again
Comment from : @beniceeveryone-i6s

Nope Nope Nope I disagree with so much of what you say Generic advice for generic price I would never pick you to sell my house You have no idea how to tap into the emotions that sell houses a fantastic prices You would be great at selling warehouses, or commercial buildings though
Comment from : @MrGus1

I have been watching Zillow for three years Zillow pricing places no emphasis on condition, specific lot location, etc Zillow uses square feet under air only Deceptive
Comment from : @williamwatson689

In Ontario Canada HouseSigma is great to see listings I like that you can see listed vs sold plus if someone flipped the property you can see photos of listing before flip This helps me understand if they just slapped it together and approximately what they spent

Comment from : @cakedupkevin

So how do you assess your homes property value when your home is completely been updated with high-end finishes compared to recent sales around you?
Comment from : @ElizabethE1267

How important is price per square foot when looking at sold homes in our area? It seems that is how homes are priced here Thank you for all your hard work

Is it possible to sell a home without posting pics online?
Comment from : @debbieshultz7335

if people want a perfect house why don't they build their own? I want a house with wood and character most people I know do - this is just showing homes I consider nearly perfect I don't have money to do any type of 10K upgrade to make it look like every other house on the market - I'm perplexed with people

You're absolutely right about staging That living room of house #8 at 17:55 is giving me funeral home vibes

Love your videos, can't stand Louis Vuitton In my opinion most of his bags are so ugly, just my opinion You do a great job of educating us sellers and buyers, Thank you!!
Comment from : @abbibrannan333

I think virtual staging should be noted in the listing or on the pics
Comment from : @judybee6698

House #2 they are being honest in their photos Photos of how it could look with refinished floors and pics of how it really is I'd prefer that honest presentation to a fake it presentation in photos that will cause me to waste my time going there if I am not wanting to refinish floors
Comment from : @judybee6698

You helped us sell our home in May Now that we have moved to another state, we are looking for another home We found a home for sale in the PERFECT LOCATION Unfortunately, this 1997 home had no upgrades done to it since that date and repairs were not kept up My husband and I set a price we thought was fair for the condition of the home (water issues, all new windows needed, furnace, hot water heater and air conditioner need replacing plus bathrooms needing work, etc etc etc) By the time we would bring this up to standard, the cost would make this poor investment Lucky for us, there are always more homes Your info really helped me keep the emotion out of this possible transaction
Comment from : @kaystinebrink1220

Looking at the first house you posted I noticed that all of the staged pieces are all the same height

Thank goodness for virtual staging If your house is empty

Comment from : @kathrynp7595

I have been following you for awhile and took another look at some listings in my area I found one home with a listing photo that showed a pile of toys and boxes in the front yard by the street which were clearly put there to be discarded What agent would put such a photo in a listing??? Not one I would ever hire Ditto for a listing with an incorrect town listed or the one incorrectly referring to its location relative to a neighborhood amenity
