🏚️ “I’m Too Embarrassed to Sell My House” — And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves

Written By Jordan Fullem Zeigler

Listen, I’ve heard it all.

🧽 “I need to deep clean before I even think about listing.”
🛠️ “We were going to redo the bathroom… six years ago.”
📦 “We’ll call you after we get rid of this mountain of stuff.”
😅 “Our dog may or may not have chewed the baseboards. It builds character.”

As a full-time Realtor in Southwestern PA, let me say this loud and clear:
You do NOT need a magazine-ready house to sell it.
In fact, some of my most successful listings started out with sticky notes on the walls and a mountain of laundry in the dining room. Real life, y’all.

Real Talk: Perfect Doesn’t Exist

Here’s the thing—buyers aren’t expecting perfection. They’re looking for possibility. And they’re WAY more forgiving than you think (especially if you bake cookies during showings, just saying 🍪).

I’ve sold homes with:

  • Blue shag carpet

  • Half-painted walls

  • "Creative" DIY shelving

  • An entire room filled with Beanie Babies (IYKYK)

If you're waiting until everything is finished, spotless, staged, and neutral—guess what? You might be waiting forever.

“But Jordan, We Haven’t Even Fixed the Leaky Faucet…”

Cool. You know who can? My husband. He owns Fullem’s Full Service, a handyman business right here in Fayette County. Between us, we’ve got you covered from “Help, my house is a disaster” to “Sold above asking!”

I’ve built a whole network of non-judgmental, helpful, and hilarious pros who can walk you through this with zero pressure and minimal chaos.

The Truth? Your Home Might Be Worth More Than You Think

Even if it needs updates. Even if it’s not “Pinterest-perfect.” Even if your teenager wrote on the wall three years ago and it’s still there.

Let’s take a look together—no pressure, no judgment, and no need to mop first.
