HOME EXTERIOR TIPS TO GIVE YOU THE UPPER HAND
WHEN YOUR HOUSE IS ON THE MARKET
If you are planning on putting your house on the market to take advantage of the increased amount of buyers during the summer, time is of the essence. I am sure you are hoping to sell your home as quickly as possible, which means your home must stand out above the rest. Here are some ideas to set the stage for success. I’ve included tips for styling and upgrading your home to aid you in fast results.
This is Part One of a three part series. In this first entry, I am focusing on the exterior of the home. Next week will be interior tips, and lastly, this importance of staging.
Boost curb appeal.
Many buyers will do a quick drive-by first. If they aren’t attracted to your home from the outside, often they won’t even ask to see the inside.
Here is a check list of items to perk up your home and draw buyers in:
· Plant blooming flowers to add pops of color
· Keep lawn mowed, watered, and edged
· Wash windows
· Make sure there are no toys or extra objects in yard, including extra vehicles
· Check for peeling paint. Paint or touch up, as needed
· Power wash driveway and house if needed
Welcome buyers with an inviting porch.
Even if you have only a tiny porch, make it say "welcome" with a new doormat, and potted plants in bloom. If you have room add one or two pieces of porch furniture. Remember to keep your porch lights on in the evenings, in case potential buyers drive by.
