Keep your buyers from backing out during the transaction (the reason for this being that buyers often like to bring friends/family through their prospective property to get feedback -- better looking houses will raise fewer red flags with friends/family)If you have a house that doesn't have clearly defined spaces or a house that has some functional drawbacks, staging makes even more of a difference.

The weirdest thing we saw was a long red hair wig hanging from the shower stall.  

Those red knobs definitely make an almost unforgettable statement!

Thank you for sharing that. yea I mean anytime an agent or seller does anything outside of the normal procedure, you should always have a mental red flag raised.

Your potential tenant altered your property without permission The last two points are red flags in my book.

Thanks guys and yes the "to be built" gave me a red flag as to if this property is even the one on the actual location.

By evaluating like this you can red light green light very easily and create benchmarks to quickly eliminate the losers and see the winners rise to the top.  2.  

Hi,I came across this red-tagged property recently.

Do not accept, this is a major red flag.  

They give you a song and dance that it will take x dollars to make it rentable , when they have no intention of putting one red cent into the property, RTO it at 20 x or more of what they paid with a contract from you know where.
