French real estate buyers what can you tell about a dirty home?

esreafrance

French real estate sellers who are interested in selling their property for the right price will take the time to prepare their home to create the best first impression.

What if you visit a home and it is dirty?

From the experience of agents who share with us sellers who do not care to prepare their home for your visit most likely do not care about the maintenance of their home as well, not always but most likely.

Be careful when you visit a dirty home because it could be a red flag to tell you this home is not well maintained.

French real estate sellers change your timing please

English speaking French real estate agents

When you have your property for sale you want to have buyers who typically are employed and have sufficient income to buy your property.

Most of these types of buyers are working long days during the week and are only able to visit properties on Saturday and Sunday. They often cannot take time off work during the week to visit a property. Make sure you have your home available for visits when the best buyers are available.
