Is Your House Ready to Sell?

By
Real Estate Agent with REMAX Town & Country Realty
Fall is just around the corner and with it brings shorter days and cooler nights. Is your home ready?

  Don't Overlook the Garage When Getting Your Home Ready to Sell

There's a lot of talk about curb appeal being the driving force drawing buyers into your home. It makes sense. If the house looks a mess from the outside, what buyer would want to set foot inside? Well, maybe your house isn't quite a mess. You have taken the time to fix-up the landscape, power-washed the house, and even painted the mailbox. But did you overlook what can be the biggest eyesore -- the garage?

Whether or not you decide to replace your garage door, it's important to make sure it at least is working properly. The key concept to remember is that a garage shouldn't just house your car and all your stuff that won't fit in your home. Instead it should help to entice buyers to want to see more of the house.

Great advice, I can't count how many times I've had buyers in the car with me and then decide not to even go inside a house because of the way it looks on the outside.

Happy selling and welcome to the rain,
