Would it put you off

I'm afraid I have to reluctantly agree with the agent. A lot of potential buyers, particularly younger ones, like to see a 'blank canvas' rather than evidence of the current owner's lifestyle/family.

My agent suggested to me that I might get more viewings if I didn't have so many family photos all over the place.

I am thinking about downsizing so got an agent in to give me a valuation, however, he said when I do put the house on the market I should remove a lot of the family photos I have around and also the two small crucifixes I have. Now I would point out that these are both less than 6 inches - one is next to a picture of my late husband and the other is on the wall above my bed. When I queried his comment he said that it could put off prospective buyers!! So I ask, would it put you off? After all its the bricks and mortar I am selling not my family or my religion.
