Ignore These When House Hunting for Pleasanton Luxury Homes for Sale

House hunting is not an easy task. There are a lot of factors involved and without a trusted Pleasanton luxury Realtor® to help you, the whole house hunting and buying process can become very challenging. 

Fortunately, we’ve rounded up a few tips for home buyers like you. Instead of having to go house to house feeling disappointed with almost every visit, why not keep these tips in mind?

Some home sellers take their time to ensure that the house they’re selling has that “lived-in” look and feel. Many sellers will hire home stagers to ensure that the house looks pristine and model-like. However, they can’t possibly decorate for all of the many different buyers’ tastes; what one might love, the next could dislike. For this reason, when house hunting, keep your focus on the house. Ignore the following to make an informed decision:

Ignore how the house is decorated.

From the color of the walls to the carpet to the knick knacks that the sellers have decided to display in their Pleasanton CA luxury homes for sale, ignore it all. Stop thinking about what the house looks like now and focus instead on what it can look like in the future. 

Ignore the poor curb appeal.

Some home buyers make the mistake of judging the luxury house by its curb appeal. While this is an important factor of adding more beauty to the house for sale, some sellers tend to forget to pull the weeds, clean the walkway, and sweep away all the fallen leaves. Look past the mess and focus instead on the structure of the space. Can you add a mini garden up front? Would it look better when you repaint the front door?

Ignore the appliances that come with the house for sale. 

Always remember that you do not have to use the same appliances that the seller may have used for years. Perhaps you prefer a gas range, but there is currently only an electric range in the kitchen. This can be a quite simple feature to have added after the close of escrow. Or maybe you prefer stainless steel appliances, but the seller has all black appliances. If you have the budget for it, replacing the appliances that came with the house for sale can be quite simple. Focus on the layout of the kitchen or the laundry room instead of the appliances or fixtures you may not like.

Ignore the unpleasant smells. 

There’s nothing like a full house cleaning to remove many the unpleasant smells that come from the home. A Pleasanton luxury homes real estate agent can help guide you on what needs to be cleaned, fixed, and replaced when checking out a home for sale. Some odors are more difficult than others to remove, however it is worth exploring those options before giving up on the home for sale altogether.
