Think Green

In our growing awareness of environmental issues green is the new black.  Today everyone is thinking green.  Consumers can't get enough of green: whether it's a sage green throw, leafy green salads, or a beautiful green tree or shrub in the back yard.

Today's green movement can carry over when you are preparing to sell your home. Think green to get you going:

1. Clean windows so you can see the great outdoors.
2. Let the buyers know how easy it is to compost and recycle and that you have lots of room to do this.
3. Place all green bins and garbage cans in an area that is not front and center.
4. Weed and mulch all lawn and garden areas.
5. Keep lawn freshly cut and fertilized.  Keep in mind the wide variety of natural pest control and lawn products.
6.  Prune bushes and trees so they are not blocking any windows or obstructing the view of the house.
7. Check your gutters for plant material and moss.
8. Be sure to mention the green features of the home (i.e. Energy Star appliances, new windows, insulated basement/attic)
9. Remove dead plants or shrubs.  Brown is not so chic.
10.  Add a plant to a room, front porch or deck. Something living and green is very inviting.

By thinking green you can be well on the way to getting your house ready to place on the market.
