When you are marketing your home, for sale on the real estate market, work closely with your local, professional realtor, such as those at The Franco Team, to create the right feeling with the verbiage. Avoid words such as unique, needs TLC, investment or potential, these words have been known to lead to lower sale prices, by as much as 7%. However, words such as luxurious, exclusive, captivating can add to the homes selling price.
