I send a monthly email newsletters to a number of area Realtors where I publish articles that I hope they find helpful. (If you live in south Louisiana, let me invite you to subscribe at my Web site.) It's my plan over the next few days to transfer that content to this blog.
Here's a sample of the type of content I'm talking about: Passing the Curb Appeal Test
Remember if you can’t see it you can’t sell it. The easiest and best way to determine what needs to be done to the outside of the home and the lawn is to walk across the street. Look objectively at what the home looks like from that vantage point. Then – take the following curb appeal test:
- Are the gutters clean and in good repair?
- How does the driveway look?
- Do the shrubs need pruning?
- Do the trees need trimming?
- How do the flower beds look?
- Is the walkway leading to the house inviting?
- Does the lawn look clean and neat?
- Are the house numbers clearly visible?
- Does the entryway and front door make a great first impression?
- Are toys, tools, hoses and any other distracting items put away?
It is only after answering and addressing the above curb appeal issues that the seller will have passed the “curb appeal test.”
See, wasn't that helpful? More to come.
