How To Make A Great First Impression When Preparing Your Home For Sale
The most important consideration when you are preparing to sell your home is curbside appeal.
Have you tried to see your home through the buyer’s eyes? For years, you have lived there and you see your home everyday. If you look at it from the street, do you find it appealing? Do you think you would buy it? Be honest with your answer.
In addition to all the common sense preparations such as picking up the toys and cleaning the yard¦let’s spend a little money and really make your home inviting.
What about the lawn? Even though keeping your lawn mowed and edged is what common sense tells you, ask yourself if it looks like a green desert. Visit your local nursery and bring your checkbook. We are after greenery, concrete and other things.
Consider your entryway. Consider putting 2 to 4 18 inch pot plants along the entryway assuming that your lawn is not already landscaped. This will give a welcoming atmosphere. Also, consider an attractive concrete birdbath “close to the front entry”.
Consider the driveway. Two 18 inch to 24 inch shrubs should be planted on the entry to your driveway.
Consider the mailbox. Whether it is located near the entrance or on the curb, if it is not new¦replace it. The preferable color is black with gold trim.
The Entryway/Porch. In addition to removing the cobwebs, consider new paint, preferably a light and inviting color.
The Front Door. Even though common sense says you should paint it, replacing it might be the way to go. This decision is the most important one you will make. Giving the impression that the interior will also be bland is a bland looking front door so try to avoid this and also set the tone for the home tour. It is human nature.
Some of these suggestions may seem a little extreme, but these tips work with much success. When you can look at your home and objectively say¦Yes, I would buy it! You are ready to place your For Sale sign in your yard.
