#1 ~ Cleanup The Yard

The landscaping of your Kennewick Wa home is the first thing a potential Kennewick Wa Real Estate buyer sees when they approach your home.  Take some time to clear out all of the personal items and debris like lawn clippings and fallen leaves.  In the spring and summer, hire a professional landscaper or gardener.  The lush texture and precise appearance of a professionally maintained yard present the home you are selling like a well-wrapped present.   Likewise, let a professional see to your trees, edging plants, flowers and shrubs.  A few dots of colorful flowers or a crisp line of hedges will give your home more curb appeal and a distinctive look that will bring buyers of Kennewick Wa Real Estate by in flocks.

If you are selling in the winter, keep your walkways clear of snow and ice for appearance, convenience and safety.  Many landscapers take care of snow removal in the winter, if your aren’t up to the heavy chore of shoveling and salting the sidewalk every few days.  If you have children, confine their snow games to the back yard to preserve the look of fresh even snow from the curb.  

#2 ~ Update the Bathroom

The cost of remodeling an out-of-date bathroom is frequently too high for a seller’s project, but the look of a bathroom can be updated with much smaller projects.  New fixtures on sinks, tubs, and showers are an inexpensive way to change the look of and older room.  Fresh, neutral paint will make the room seem newer, and a stylish shower curtain can hide a multitude of tub troubles.  If your tub, toilet, or sink is chipped, take the time to repair the porcelain.  These repair kits can be found in the paint or fixture departments at your local hardware store and rarely cost more that fifteen dollars.  Make sure you choose the right color, because ivory repair color on a white bathroom sink really will stand out...[for the remaining three, click here]
