Smart French real estate sellers use this simple tip:
Did you ever visit a friend’s house and use the washroom and find out you could not turn off the tap fully? It just kept on dripping a little bit of water. You told our friend and they said ‘Yes, I just have not fixed it’.
As a friend it is no big deal but to a buyer the fact a simple task like fixing a tap is not done suggests to the buyer that the seller most likely is neglecting to take care of other parts of the home as well.
Maybe you are a careful owner but the buyer is making decisions every moment they walk around your home. You can help them see the positive side by making sure you have no leaking taps.
Bonus Mini Tip:
Even if your taps are not leaking make sure you polish the taps and sinks before the visits by a potential buyer.
Even a five second bit of polishing with a cloth makes the dirty faucet above look better.
