Getting Your House Ready to Sell
Hey - who wants to buy that old beat up car at the corner - you know - the one with the dented fender and scraped paint??? Oh - nobody right! Do you want to eat at a restaurant that has dirty floors or dirty dishes? NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The same applies to buyers looking for homes to buy. People want to buy a home that is well taken care of - one that shines inside and OUTSIDE. They will drive right past a home if the yard looks bad or the exterior of the house looks in ill repair.
So what does that mean for you if you are trying to SELL YOUR HOME?
It is time to get busy ‘spiffing' up the house!
Walk across the street, turn around and look at your home - your yard.....does it look like a place you would like to buy if you were ready to buy a home? If not, get started.
Here are some things you can do to make sure it shines.
- Pressure wash the house
- Pressure wash the walkway to the house
- Paint where needed
- Freshen up the yard with pine straw
- Add a splash of color - plant flowers around the entrance
- Keep the grass cut, edges trimmed
- Seed or re-sod where needed
- Rake leaves and debris from the yard.
- Place a flower pot or 2 or 3 by the front door but do not crowd the entrance
- Make sure the front door is clean and freshly painted and the hardware shines
- Remove everything from the yard that doesn't belong.
The exterior condition is a hint to what the inside looks like. Make it shine!! Make it appealing to entice buyers to come inside!!
