I never considered myself weak before we put our house up on the market. I talk a good game, but everytime we get negative feedback I am reduced to tears. I understand that my house is small and the market is flooded with inventory; it doesn't bother me to see those comments. Too small, overpriced, not what we're looking for. Those don't hurt. It is the;
SHOWS POORLY,
NEEDS TLC,
WORST HOUSE WE'VE SEEN.
NOT TAKEN CARE OF
Those hurt. I try to steel myself against them but it does no good. Last night we were at the house mowing the lawn and weeding when a family drove up with their realtor. Luckily we were done and on the way out. We exchanged pleasantries. The feedback this morning was that the house didn't look as though it had been cared for. Needed new paint. It has brand new paint throughout and all in neutral colors. How could they say it hadn't been cared for when they saw us there caring for it!

| These are the latest pictures taken this summer by the realtor. She assures us that in the price point there is no need to stage the house, but I am starting to wonder if it would help. |

oh honey, i feel for you!!
i hate realtor feedback! it's almost NEVER helpful and it is often so subjective that it's like, just say it's not the right house for you, don't insult all my hard work!
the pictures are beautiful and you're right, all you need is the right one to come along!! i hope it's soon!!
I know I already commented on FB but I am honestly shocked that people would say those things based on the pictures I've seen. They don't know "not taken care of" if that's what they think it looks like!
