Here are a few tips to make your home stand out from the rest for "Open" house. Put a pot of water on the stove and boil some cinnamon sticks to give your home that wonderful aroma. Check on the curb appeal of the front of your home by mowing your lawn, edging and planting new flowers in your planting beds. Choose the brightest, fullest, seasonal flowers to make your home say,"Look At Me!" Buyers judge your home from their cars so make them want to get out and see the inside. No matter how lovely you keep the inside, they may think your hiding deferred maintenance. Also pack away some of the family mementos on the inside, especially where they first walk in the door. You don't want buyers to feel this home could only belong to you. You want them to see themselves living there.
We are waiting for a very special dinner guest who's the mother of close friends in her eighties. She's sharp as a tack and like going back in time and spending the evening with a loving grandmother. She also has lots of stories to tell back in the day and we cherish hearing them all. It's the simple things in life that can make it so special. Hope you have people like this in your life!
