  • Real estate and property expert Sofie Allsopp is helping homeowners Josh and Jordan sell their uninspiring bungalow in South Georgia. It lacks curb appeal which is stopping potential buyers from even looking and if they do make it past the front door the house interior is far from perfect.

    I’ve always been taught to view a house as potential. I don’t understand how the majority of people seem to want everything already done to their tastes. Isn’t some of the fun in buying a new house, turning it into your home?

    • @tommoncrieff1154
      @tommoncrieff1154 2 роки тому +3

      Yes, but most people lack the ability to see the potential and to envisage the transformation, oddly, they view a house seeing only the current furniture, contents, colours and wallpaper, the bathroom fittings and not the bones or opportunities.

      Many people don't have the time or skills to repaint and repair, and paying someone else to do it can be costly. In this house, doors are missing or broken, paint is unfinished or peeling, the patio looks grimy. And distracting furniture can keep people from envisioning the size and layout of a home. Some people are excited about fixing up a home, but other people want to move into a home that does not require so much upfront effort and that's totally fair.

    The white pots out front are nice, and it’s great they mowed, but they could have done the edges along the front path. Grass is growing over it. I don’t like the metal office desk on wheels. Looks cheap and nasty. And they have made the office so small with the wall length shelved cupboard. the dining table and chairs are awful. They look like outdoor chairs. And I also don’t like the colours in the back patio or any of the furniture there either.

    Painting the porch posts and window trim black was a mistake in my opinion…it made it look like a rundown 1960’s elementary school. The original white was actually working and should have just been refreshed. Also agree about the landscaping…a collection of bad choices…and…I think the big stripes in the living room rug detract from the overall look…but other than that…the house looks great!
