What are the positives and negatives of this house?

Submitted by: Administrator
Few of us have a perfect house, no matter how much we love it. Ask an agent to tell you the home's best selling points and biggest drawbacks; you want to make sure the two of you perceive the house in the same way; otherwise, you could be in for a big disagreement on pricing.

This was the key issue in my parent's situation. My parents' house in New Jersey had one very small bedroom, with an attached bathroom, in the lowest floor of a split-level house. It was my big brother's room, then it became my grandmother's room, then it became my father's office.

It was a bit cluttered with a bed, his big desk, and a dresser. The first agent suggested removing the bed and basically calling it an office. My parents disagreed (they could have removed the desk or the dresser to open up the space); they felt that someone who might want an in-law apartment or a space for a nanny or au pair would look at the small bedroom and reconditioned bath next to it downstairs and away from the main bedrooms and feel like he or she had found a house that served the purpose. Moreover, they could better justify the asking price with four bedrooms.

It turned out that my parents were right, and the first agent's ideas were wrong; had any of the discussion happened in advance perhaps when my mother was planning at the bathroom remodeling project and wondering if she'd get the money back from the upgrade they could have avoided the trouble that came up when they were anxious to get the house on the market.
