The Dirty Drawer Deal Breaker: Why a Dirty Home Can Kill Your Sale | Episode 68

“If you couldn’t be bothered to clean the drawer or the fridge, what else couldn’t you be bothered to do?” – Home Buyers

A quick peek inside a refrigerator and a drawer that revealed more than dust bunnies killed a $400,000 home sale—and it’s not as crazy as it sounds. After helping over 2,500 home sellers, I can tell you this with absolute certainty: a clean home is one of the most powerful (and underrated) marketing tools you have.

Why? Because how you do anything is how you do everything. Whether it’s true for you or not, that is buyer’s perception when house hunting. Don’t give them such a simple and preventable reason to walk away.

In this episode, we break down:

  • How “small messes” create BIG red flags in buyer psychology
  • The three selling truths every homeowner needs to understand
  • The cleaning checklist every seller should follow
  • Why a spotless home earns more showings, more trust, and higher offers

If you want your home to shine, literally and financially, this episode is your blueprint.
