To many buyers the very first impression of your house is the most lasting. Here are a few tips to improve your homes curb appeal. The first thing a buyer sees is the exterior and first impressions set the tone of the entire sale. Inspect your home inside and out. Paint, improve the landscaping, do a cosmetic over haul, remove exterior clutter and close the garage door – make your home shine.
Re-move clutter, re-paint, eliminate odors, clean everything and pay extra attention to your kitchen and bathrooms. Fix anything that is broken and in need of a repair. De-Personalize. Remove magnets from your refrigerator, pack away those trophys and framed family photos.
A picture is worth a thousand words and you will get a 70% higher response by adding pictures to your listing. Before you take any pictures mow the lawn, trim the shrubs and trees, remove toys and sports equipment, put garbage cans out of sight. Park the car in the garage and again close the garage door.
We recommend you hire a professional photographer. A better picture can be worth thousands of dollars. Buyers are flipping through hundreds of home photos so make sure your home stands out.
