How NOT to sell a house....

How Not to sell a house might possibly be one of the easiest post I could do... I could tell you what not to do all day long.....  let me break it down for you as easy as I can....

If you don't want your house to sell (for top dollar) then simply don't do a thing.. easy as that.  So don't worry about decluttering, or cleaning, just leave it as is and go with it. 

If you don't want your house to sell then you should make the house looked as lived in as can be... make sure that everyone can see you have outgrown the house and no longer have space ..  When people come through and go through your closets and vanity's to make sure there is room for their stuff, you want to make sure they don't see any spare space.

If you don't want your house to sell you should also decline showings in the evenings and the weekends..  propose a new time like early morning during the week :) buyers love that.   If you don't want to sell then don't worry about boxing away all the extras in the house and placing them neatly out of the way..  no one does that.. that's to much work and would get you prepared for a move. 

& last.. if you don't want to sell your house then you should most definitely look at the comps your Realtor (me) have given you about the similar properties sold and then take that price and add 15,000.   So if your house should be between 150,000-155,000  then by all means list that thing for 199,999. "just to try it"

** this post is clearly just for entertainment :))  all just for laughs....  haha... you could also do everything perfect and it still not sell and in that case I need to sit down and review all the things TO do.  It could be the market, the location, the type of property or many other issues... **
