Springtime! The trees are green, the flowers are blooming, and the dark days of winter have passed.
It's a PERFECT season to market your home for sale. And in our current market where there are many homes to choose from, your home must be at it's BEST!
From the second a potential buyer pulls up to your home they have to be enticed. Creating a great impression can make the difference between finding the right buyer and losing the sale. It doesn’t cost a fortune to make your home "buyer ready".
Step back and look at your home through a buyer’s eyes. Often as a homeowner we fail to notice the flaws in our own property. We get used to the dripping faucet, the scuffed paint, or the dirty carpet. But by looking objectively at your property, you can decide which improvements need to be made to make the best first impression. Sometimes the smallest repairs can make the most impact in a potential buyer’s perception of your home.
Curb appeal the way to get buyers out of their car and up to your door. Make sure the yard is green and mowed, and the bushes trimmed. Plant flowers! The color will make an enormous impact. Don't have plant beds? Get 2 large pots, and fill them with flowers and place them on each side of the entrance to your home. And speaking of the entrance, make sure your door has a fresh coat of paint (if needed) and get a new doormat.
And here's a very important tip! If your home has been on the market through the winter, chances are the photos of your home being advertised on the Internet and other publications where your agent may place them are dreary, and lack pizazz. After a weekend of sprucing up the curb appeal of your home, make sure to have your agent come and take new photos and get them published accordingly. With potential buyers lurking the Internet, make sure the first impression they get of your home, is the best one! You know how the saying goes, "You only get one chance to make a good first impression!"
