LOOKING THROUGH A BUYER'S EYE'S Because home ownership allows you to make a personal statement, it is.often difficult for homeowners to be objective when it is time to sell. One of the secrets of a successful sale is to see your house through a buyer's eyes. Buyers are looking for a home that will allow them to live in the style that only they can envision. They won't be able to imagine their family and their furniture in your home if they can't see beyond your enormous entertainment center and stenciled walls. Creating a blank canvas may seem unrealistic, but it takes the psychology of a buyer into account, and can CRO»y S SIWSET ROOKERY PADDLE make a difference in how quickly your home sells.
