Banish the Pollen Monster

I'm sitting on my porch writing this blog entry in a fog of yellow pollen.  Everyone in the Southeast knows of what I speak!  Only two hours ago, I had the leaf blower out ridding my porches,  walks and driveway of the yellow muck! (Which was being tracked into the house by us and our dog, Izzie, thank you very much.)  Again, the wind is blowing and once again it is spewing yellow 'rain'. 

Here are my words of advice for Spring Time Sellers:

If Mother Nature is not going to help out with a much needed shower, you should spray your yard before MLS pictures and showings.  Actually, it is good advice for anyone selling in the Spring and Summer months.  Just as you dust your house so it looks pristine, pay the same attention to your landscaping.  A spritz of water will wash away that nasty yellow layer  of pollen for a fresh look.

Always, always, always seek to make the best first impression when your house is on the market.

10 Things That Make Sellers Pissy

1. Realtors who court and woo sellers to get the listing, then don't return phone calls the longer the house stays on the market.
2. Painting, installing new carpet, changing light and plumbing fixtures, etc. to sell when they have wanted to do it for years and procrastinated. 
3. Irresponsible contractors that don't show up on time, don't finish on time and expose more problems for sellers to fix.
4. Keeping their house 'show ready' everyday.
5. Potential buyers that insist on seeing their house with little notice on a weekend or weeknight.
6. Only nosey neighbors showing up at their Open House.
7. Buyer's Agents that don't leave remarks after they bring a client to see their house.
8. "Stupid comments" over things that can't be changed: 'lot is not level', 'too close to power line', 'airport noise', etc.
9. The buyer's Home Inspection Report.
10. Two mortgage payments and double utility bills. Carry over charges make sellers really pissy.
