Winter has carried us into a very cold and dreary spring this year. Finally, this weekend, has changed that status!
Showings will increase, sales will increase and yes, more listings will be coming on the market. People are ready to move. It's amazing, what affect, that the good, sunny weather has on our outlook, our business and our life. Spring is refreshing and a chance for all of us to renew. Renew our path in life and renew our business.
Flowers are for sale, everywhere. I've purchased several hanging baskets of pansies and my favorite, white petunias. Agway, Stop & Shop, Nurseries (Large and Small) and renewing the look of our properties will keep folks busy now, until Summer arrives. Raking the yard, cleaning our the flower beds, replacing larger shrubs, adding mulch to your landscape and maybe, redesigning that curb appeal for a new look. Are you a Do It Yourself Person?

All the windows are now, open. Time to wash them and hang new curtains for the coming months. Breathing in that nice, fresh air of spring! When showing your home, have some windows open. Sliders, especially, so that, buyers viewing the property notice the easy access to the outdoor living area. Buyers will notice how light and airy your home is, with lighter colored curtains. If you have blinds, pull them up. Show the beauty of your outdoors from the inside!
If your home is listed, pack up your winter items. Make sure that your patios, decks and walkways are cleaned off. Set up your patio furniture and place your flower pots, accordingly. Door entrances should be cleared and appear spacious, not cluttered. Remember, people will be walking outdoors and then, coming inside your home. This is a perfect time to display less and show more!
Changing to Ice Tea and Ice Coffee. Still love that hot cup, early in the day:) Transitioning to the cooler beverages. Surely, a sign of warmer weather. I have a client that I bring a hot coffee to, every once and awhile. Just for fun, this week, I will drop by with an iced coffee:) Welcoming in that warmer weather and encouraging others, to embrace this season. Drop by, popbys, are always enjoyable, when you can personalize the item to your client(s).
With this season, comes a preventative time. If you are outdoors for more than a few minutes, be sure to wear suntan lotion and a hat. If you have pets that go outdoors, be sure to protect them from ticks and parasites. Rotate your automobile or truck tires. Change your tires if they were meant to be used, for only winter use. Have your car detailed, so that, it shines and is protected from the sun.
Welcome, Spring! It has finally, arrived here in Connecticut!
