Hi, Laura Doughty here with Monarch Estates and Homes in Malibu California. I want to talk to you today about a simple but very important issue,
that we encountered yesterday while showing, one of our clients some properties.
We happened to be looking in the 8 to 10 million dollar range.
And the average home here in Malibu is just over $2 million. It fluctuates, $2.1 to $2.7, so great
opportunity for the buyer and the seller, great price range.
And I can't stress enough to Sellers and to listing agents how important cleanliness is when it comes to showing property.
We happen to walk up to property on the beach yesterday and before we even got to the front door, the buyer noticed the cobwebs. And was a
little bit grossed out. I'm like, I'm sure it will get better on the other side and, as we were walking through when the agent,
my buyer was just beside themselves because
the windows to the beach, were so dirty that it literally looked like we had a hazy day even though
the sun was out. That's how dirty the windows were. The stainless steel, was
so dirty; had not been cleaned in so long that it looked like it was rusted. And thankfully
here at Monarch, we have our estate management division, so I was able to kind of
make that a little bit less important because I understand how easy it is to actually clean stainless. That's just a situation, if I wouldn't have
been there to kind of handle that objection and easily show her with a quick rag, how easy it is to clean that, they would've been definitely deterred
from that. From the simple things of the grout in the shower, just when on and on and you know when you're in this price range and quite honestly
it doesn't matter what price range you're in. Cleanliness is such a huge
obstacle for a buyer because, there are some that are really some that are germ and neat freaks, not to be negative, but you know they can
be a little bit extreme and then there's just your average buyer that honestly just not having a clean house is a huge turn off. So,
I cannot stress enough how important is to do your best to step outside, look at it from the buyers perspective and do everything within your
power to clean that. Thankfully for us here at Monarch Estates and Homes, we have our Estate Management division, where we can come in
and we have a windows taken care of, we take care of all of the mechanicals of the home as well as if you need a housekeeper.
So,having a full service real estate office does help facilitate marketing your home at the highest level possible. But if you are out
there and you're selling your home, please take time to look into that and make sure that you've taken
care of that basic detail, so your home can show at it's absolute best. Until next time, Thanks for watching!
