Ignoring the attraction of appearance affects the buyer s impression. Experts reveal that 4 things may harm your house value

Josh Dotoli, founder of the Dotoli Group, Fort Roderdale real estate company in Florida, advises homeowners not to do four things, so as not to pay the house within one year.

Dotoli's housing sales company has a business volume of the top 1% in the country, so everyone should not miss the views of this expert. What four things can’t be done if you want to sell a house?

First, too personal. For example, the main color of the bathroom is the pink color you think is very avant-garde and popular, and the wall painting behind the living room sand is the most popular wall. Remember, you are selling a house, not buying a house.

Dotoli said, "Highly personalized decorations or designs, such as unique paint colors, non-traditional styles, and too small market characteristics, will reduce the attractiveness of small houses to potential buyers. It is very important to balance between personal style and large markets."

Second, ignore the attractiveness of appearance. When the buyer sees the appearance of your house, he will leave an unscrupulous impression on the entire house. Therefore, if the garden design in the front yard is messy and the moldy water and dirty water in the corner of the house is reflected in your eyes, people will think: Is it possible that the house is like this?

Third, "hands on your own" renovation beyond your ability. The home decoration paid TV station HGTV seems to be very simple to teach. This does not mean that you can actually start with it and do it so beautifully. Taking action on your own is indeed a good way to save money and add value to the house, but you can do it in a hurry and make it a half-stick and four-dimensional way, and you will not save money, let alone add value to the house.

Dotoli said, "It can save money by doing it yourself, but the decoration of an outsider will reduce the value of the house. Failure to pass the work method and taking shortcuts and getting closer often causes problems. In the end, it will be more expensive, labor-intensive, and cost-effective, so that you can save it."

Fourth, the improvement of the period has not been done well. Almost every modern buyer pays great attention to whether the energy costs of a new house are very low, so whether the house and equipment are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly are also the key points they consider. In this regard, the homeowner's move to the house's value is not what he has done this year, but nothing he has done.
