House to House: Personal photos may be distraction for home’s prospective buyers


The following article printed in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and numerous papers throughout Arkansas is the sole product and property of the Arkansas Realtors Association. The photo is by www.ARSportsPhoto.com

Using personal photos to decorate the walls and tables is common in homes. It certainly is in the Glover Bryant house. However, if I were trying to sell my home, those personal photos of my dogs, my kids, my parents — basically my life — may be a turnoff to potential homebuyers. Plus, if you think about it, people looking at my home are going to learn an awful lot about me, and I’m not so sure what I think about that.

As with any issue, opinions differ. My opinion is that the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
