Buyer turn offs

Lets talk buyer turn offs... one of the biggest ones I see is Popcorn ceilings! The speckled ceilings can attract dirt and be impossible to paint, not to mention buyers hate them. Plus, if the home was built prior to 1980, the ceiling may contain asbestos and need to be tested by an inspector.  The fix?...Unfortunately, there’s no quick fix for removing popcorn ceilings; it can get messy. It’ll have to be scraped off and the ceiling then will need to be repaired. Plus, you’ll want to have it tested for asbestos before scraping. Home owners will likely want to consider hiring a professional to do this.  But your return...It is worth it, houses with popcorn ceilings are harder to sell because buyers don't want to remove it themselves.  Onces it is gone that is ones less thing Buyers are looking at as a negitive and one step towards putting in an offer on your home.
