Avoid these words when selling your home

ATLANTA (FOX 5 Atlanta) - A major part of selling your home is painting a “word picture” of not only the property being sold but also the joy and happiness that will accrue to the buyer once they become the owner. The words we use can mean the difference between a house that sells quickly and one that languishes on the market for month after month.

But some words and phrases have been used so many times in the past that the market perceives them as lies and false claims. These words are not only ineffective at describing the house - they actually can hurt the selling effort!

FOX 5 real estate expert John Adams visited Good Day Atlanta to talk about the five specific words or phrases you need to avoid when selling a home.
