Some people, when selling, have a difficult time telling the truth about their home. They are afraid if they disclose negative items, they will scare the buyer away or somehow, hurt the deal.  When I represent a seller, I urge full disclosure about everything using the required California Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS). It’s better to put up a caution flag to a buyer than face a judge in court. Cheaper too.

Homeowners trying to sell without professional assistance, sometimes take it to another level. Downward I would suggest. Maybe too much information is not a good thing. For Sale by Owner’s (FSBO) take note – If you want to sell your home, consider your signage – if you need advice, contact me.

Honesty is a good thing, but, do you really think using ad copy as shown below will get buyers salivating over your home?

Let me know what you think of this photo. I’m sure many of us have felt this way about a neighbor…but do we really want the world to know? What happens if you don’t sell and you’re stuck?

What are your thoughts?
