Overcoming Location Drawbacks with Pre-sell Changes DC/MD/VA/DALLAS

The right house in the right location 
is the combination that sells. But 
what happens when the right house is 
in a location that isn't perfect?  As 
the seller, you might be able to 
overcome some location problems with 
pre-sell fixes. To the right buyer, 
a perk here and there could make your 
property very attractive.  The main 
thing to remember is that you can't 
change some location problems. You 
can't do anything about the school 
system, the distance from the closest 
grocery store, or the city's street 
signage.  Still, some location problems 
can be minimized.
 
If recent changes to traffic flow have 
created street noise around the property, 
you might be able to create landscaping 
that minimizes the noise and distracts 
the eye.  The house itself can overcome 
location problems if it is the best in 
its price range.  The seller should take 
extra steps to make sure the house is 
perfect, with new flooring or carpeting, 
fresh paint, sparkling windows, and 
gleaming fixtures. Perfection paired with 
price is an aggressive and successful 
combination.  A great deal on a great 
house can make a buyer overlook a lot of 
location problems.
 
With the right combination of perks and price, 
the seller puts himself in the position to find 
the right buyer, someone who isn't sensitive to 
street noise or doesn't mind a drive to the 
grocery store.
