Sellers often harbor emotional attachments to their homes that hold their properties hostage and get in the way of a sale. Many times, sellers do not realize the impact of their subjective feelings until they are handed written offers. At that point, stirred emotions can get in the way of a good deal. The biggest problem for sellers in this respect is that they want buyers to pay for all the good experiences that the sellers are likely to have enjoyed over the years. This is an unrealistic expectation because buyers come into the situation with a fairly objective outlook of the sellers’ properties and their potential. Good memories should not be considered as fixtures that stay with the home.

HINT: Sellers can help detach themselves emotionally from their homes (and further the likelihood of a sale) by painting interior walls neutral colors that anyone can appreciate and enjoy.
