Essential Tips 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? You have lived there for years and you see your home everyday. Is it appealing from the street? Would you consider buying it? Be honest.
Let’s spend a little money and really make your home inviting in addition to all the common sense preparations such as picking up the toys and cleaning the yard.
The lawn. Common sense tells you to keep your lawn mowed and edged, but does it look like a green desert? Try visiting your local nursery and bring your checkbook. What we are after are greenery, concrete, and other things.
What about your entryway? Assuming your lawn is not already landscaped; consider putting 2 to 4 18 inch to 24 inch pot plants along the entryway. Your entryway will then be given a welcoming atmosphere. Another thing you should consider is an attractive concrete birdbath that is close to the front entry.
The driveway. Plant 2 18 inch to 24 inch shrubs on the entry to your driveway.
The Mail Box. Regardless if the mailbox is located on the curb or near the entrance, you should replace it if it is not new. Black with gold trim would be the preferable color.
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. A bland looking front door gives the impression that the interior will also be bland and set the tone for the home tour. It is human nature.
Although some of these suggestions seem to be a little extreme, these tips can actually be successful. You are ready to place your For Sale sign in your yard when you can look at your home and objectively say that you would definitely buy it.
