Aesthetics play a huge part in a successful sale. A large part of a buyer's decision to buy a house is based on emotions.  The appearance of a house can have a major impact on a buyer's feelings.  We'll go over some of the top aesthetic mistakes sellers in the [Profile.market2]  market make.  Take note so you can avoid making these mistakes and get a higher price when you sell your house.

Mistake #1 - Lighting

A common mistake which makes your home less attractive is the wrong type of lighting. Any time your house is bright and sunny it will be much more appealing to potential buyers.  A dark and gloomy house will deter buyers from purchasing.  Make sure the windows are open and the curtains are pulled back, and get some extra lights in the house to help with the lighting.

Mistake #2 - Unpleasant Scents

Another common detriment to the sale of your home is how it smells when a potential buyer visits. You should not have any unpleasant or foul odors in your home.   Use of some air fresheners prior to showing the house can work wonders.  Sometimes the use of warm smelling candles such as vanilla or cinnamon apple can do wonders with giving potential buyers a good impression of your home.

Mistake #3 - Poor Exterior First Impression

The inside of your house is not the only place you should pay attention to. The exterior, including the paint and the front yard, play an important factor in the buyer's decision making process.  Keep in mind, the outside provides homebuyers with their initial image of the home.

Mistake #4 - Wrong Paint Color

Another frequent error made is having rooms painted an unappealing and strange colors, such as, orange. Perhaps pink appeals to you or matches with your paintings. However, for the buyer the colors may or may not suit them.  Prior to exhibiting your home, be certain each wall has a paint coat in a neutral shade.

Mistake #5 - Failing to Perform Apparent Repairs

Apply WD-40 lubricant to stop hinges from being squeaky. If you are having issues with major utilities be sure to have those problems resolved first. If any of the kitchen cabinets or counter tops are chipped or look old, they should probably be replaced.  Make sure all tiling has been thoroughly cleaned and shows no evidence of grime or mildew. Often times it could even pay to replace old windows.
