Stepping Out above the Competition!

I am so glad you stopped by.  Today we are going to take a look at the exterior of your home.  The first impression when a buyer drives up to your home is critical.  Walk across the street and look at it through the eyes of a buyer, they will be doing the same,.  What do you see?  Can you see your house?  The old saying
"Plants are like children, they grow up so fast!".

Take a hard look at the front door and trim. Give this area special attention because this is the buyers first opportunity to get a close up inspection of your home.  Repainting the doors and trim will make the house look crisp and in good condition.

During the growing season, mow grass weekly. Keep your decks, walks, porches and patios swept.

Remove the slippery moss from all decks, walks and patios. Very important to reduce clutter on decks,porches and patios so they will appear larger. Repair broken fences and paint. Your flower beds need to be looked at carefully.  Fresh mulch and living plants make a big impression. *a little secret... if you have time before a showing gently spray down your mulch to make it look darker and very fresh..

If you are fortunate enough to have uplighting on the exterior of your home, by all means use it at dusk.

Buyers are driving the neighborhoods after work and we want them to notice that extra touch about your house.  Remove any extra items from the yards.  Children's toys should all go in one area in the back yard in an orderly manner. Give attention to your drains that might need cleared. Repair any and all cracks in the ceilings and walls.

This sweet little guest house says it all.  Curb appeal gets the  Buyer to want to take a closer look.

Because your home has been professionally Staged - it will be recognized as a Staged Home.

A Staged Home is recognized by other real estate agents as properties ready to sell. They

will be more likely to show your home to potential buyers.
