Who does the shopping? Usually the wife in the traditional family unit. Who do you think does most of the physical looking for a home? Yup! The wife. They may both take turns looking on the Internet before they do their drive-by to see if the location, condition of the home and general appearance of the neighborhood looks like an area they would like to live.
So being armed with this information do you think flowers will catch a woman's eye? Yes even if she has none in her own yard! Flowers will also give the home a whole new look. Take advantage of every opportunity to use the psychology of the buyer to help you sell. Proper lawns, trim and flowers will give you an inviting look. All you are doing is getting yourself situated to be noticed more than a competitive home on the market. You want showings and offers.
Look over the exterior layout of your home, yard areas and objectively cover any flaws with a flowers and bushes. You do not have to spend huge money to do this but the return will be well worth the effort.
Edge walks and driveways to add to the finished look. Use weed killer for sidewalk cracks where the grass is growing through and also in driveways. You never notice how much this impacts the look of a home until you see a home that has been given this finishing touch. If you can not do this yourself hire the neighbor kid. He will be glad for a few extra dollars.
I hope this sales hint helps. Drop me an email with any questions or comments.
