Make Your Front Door Say Welcome To Home Pullman Buyers!

By
Real Estate Agent with Beasley Realty

It is early in the year, but it seems that the Spring Real Estate Market is beginning here in Pullman Washington.  I know that I have been showing, and other agents are as well.  That is good news for those Pullman sellers.

With the weather still being a bit cold, and quite unpredictable, it is difficult to get the yard in tip top shape.  But I think it is important to give a great first impression at your front door.  Do please step back and take a look at your front walk and porch.  Is there leaves and debris in the corners?  Is the welcome mat looking a bit worn?  How about the door?  It may be a bit early for a fresh coat of paint, but a good washing down might be in order.  And maybe a fresh look on the door with a new wreath could add some Spring  pizazz.

Although we might still be early for planting flowers, I have noticed primroses in the local stores.  Just a few in a pot are especially enjoyable when we are feeling so deprived of the freshness of greenery and flowers.  If we get some really cold temperatures, you can always bring them in for a while and brighten up your inside too.  A few pots in the kitchen might just be the ticket to spread some cheer!

A potential buyer will spend those extra few minutes at the door as we go through our routine of finding that lock box, getting out the key, and opening the door.  Makes those extra minutes count and say "Welcome To my Pullman Washington Home....I Would Love To Be Your New Home!"

In my area, the Daffodils are already starting to push up, I have great luck with those in pots!  Your front entrance really does set the tone for the rest of the house, great tips!

The front door is a buyer's first impression.  We are lucky in Dallas, to be able to have flowers near the front door, year round, in spite of our weather last week!

Lori, great reminder, I think that the front door is often forgotten when people are trying to "spruce up" their curb appeal!
