Getting Your Home Ready to Sell

Remember - When selling your home, First Impressions Are Everything To ensure a successful sale of your home, it is important to present your property so that it will make a good first impression on all potential buyers. Here are a few suggestions on how to get the exterior of your home properly prepared for sale. 1. Look at your property objectively. Pretend you are seeing it for the first time through a potential buyer's eyes. 2. Keep the lawn trimmed and edged. 3. Put some new beauty bark in the flower beds and maybe add some new flowers to brighten up the entrance. 4. Keep the yard clear of hazards such as tools, toys, low hanging branches or hoses. 5. The front door and porch gives a vital first impression. Be sure they are scrubbed and repainted if necessary. Repair any loose stairs or railings. 6. Presure wash or touch up the siding and trim to give the front of the house a fresh clean look. It is amazing how some buyers will not even go in a house with a really messy yard or a bad entrance. It really puts a bad taste in their mouths so you have to make the street view a clean as possible to at least get them in the door. That first impression is so important that they may miss good features inside or if the outside is nice they could over look something not quite right inside.
