The single best way to increase your homes value at the lowest possible cost!!!

The single best way to increase your homes value with the lowest possible cost is to buy a box of trash bags...

What....

Well the biggest thing you can do to increase value and desire is to clean up your home, both the inside and outside. While this sounds like common sense to some, to others they may not realize their home could use some sprucing up.

THE EXTERIOR

First thing you can do is make sure your yard is free of debris, trash and weeds. Make your your bushes and shrubs are not overgrown, blocking the entryway, your windows or your sidewalk. Avooid parking cars, boats and motorhomes in yoru front yard or viewable from the street.

It is the first thing a buyer will see when they pull up. You want it to be appealing rather than an eye sore.


THE INTERIOR

Once you get to the inside remove the clutter. Anything you can see that i not working, broken or not used any longer should be removed.

Concetrate on what you can see rather than the things you can not.


SMELLS

Remove the litter box or anything that smells badly, moldy cardboard in the basement or anything that can be a turnoff.


These are just some of the simple things you can do, it doesnt take alot of money and just some time. The increase in desirability adds value to your house you never even knew you had. Rundown houses, dirty, broken or cluttered yards are invitations to bargain hunters.
