5 things you Should ignore when house hunting

Paint, Carpet and Wallpaper: Try and ignore the ugly or bold paint colour in the room. Paint is one thing that is very inexpensive to change and easy to change in a day! Same thing applies to wall paper, it may not be your personal taste but it is easy to change.  Yes, the shag carpet is so 70’s but that is an easy fix, you can go with porcelain tiles to travertine or hardwood floors.

Popcorn Ceilings: Contractors used popcorn ceilings to hide the flaws in the 90’s but it is easy to have it scrapped off and recoated to flat or knock down finish.  Warning, do this before you move it, it is a messy job!

Kitchen Appliances: This is where the family congregates and relates their day, it is the heartbeat of the home.   The appliances are a big ticket purchase and the appliances are sold with the home, so use them until you can afford to change them or time to replace them.

Curb Appeal: If the front of the home is a bit boring, give the house a chance, you might be surprised. Or if the home is a bubblegum pink colour and it is just a bit too much, you can always paint it.  With some imagination you can fix up the front of the home with new landscaping or even painting the front door.

Funny Smells:  Yes, this can be a turn off and we do try and educate our vendors, often times they cannot smell the pet odor but a good deep clean will often fix that. Focus on the bones of the home and the potential.
