Outside
The old adage
you never get a
second chance to
make a first
impression
couldn’t be
truer then when
selling your
home.
Because the
majority of
showings happen
when your home
is first listed
it’s important
you make these
necessary
improvements
right now before
it goes on the
market. Not only
do you want
these first
prospects to see
the best
possible product
but you want the
Real Estate
Agents to have a
good impression
of your home.
Then they will
be more likely
to show it again
and tell other
Agents about
your home.
The first and
most important
chance to make
that first
impression is
with curb
appeal.
Curb appeal is
important
because it sets
the tone for the
way prospects
are going to
view the rest of
your house. Some
prospects will
eliminate your
house without
even seeing the
inside. Do you
want them
slamming on the
brakes to get
inside or
pushing on the
gas to speed on
by.
In order to that
will lighten and
brighten the
outside and
really grab the
buyer’s
attention.
But first, we
need to
De-clutter and
Depersonalize.
There are a
couple of things
we are trying to
accomplish with
this step. Not
only do we want
to pack up all
of our stuff
with moving
boxes and moving
supplies -
including Tools,
Toys, Grills,
and excess
Furniture.
But keep in mind
that De-clutter
also means
De-personalize.
We are going to
get rid of any
personal items
like bird
houses, flags or
other yard art.
You may like
your pink
Flamingo but do
you think
there’s a chance
not everybody
else does?
Ideally, the
best place to
store these
things is off
your property.
However, if that
isn’t an option
make sure you
pre-pack with
moving boxes and
store neatly in
the garage,
basement, or
closets. You can
get the
necessary moving
boxes or moving
supplies from
friends, the
local store, or
right here at
Uboxes.com.
Now
is the best time
to decide are
you going to
keep it or pitch
it. Or in the
case of the pink
flamingo light
it on fire and
put it out of
its misery.
Not only will
this help you
sell your home
but you’ve got a
huge head start
on packing!
Hey we’re part
way there so
don’t lose your
nerve and let’s
get going with
Deep clean and
Repair.
Now your real
estate agent
will be able to
go over any
major repairs
that must be
done but it’s
also important
to do minor
repairs like:
•
Hammering down
loose shingles
on your roof,
fixing gutters,
and touching up
paint, or maybe
repainting all
together.
•
Clean all
windows and
shutters
•
Mow, fertilize,
and edge
•
Repair broken
boards on decks
and stain if
needed.
•
And even wash
off your
sidewalks and
drive ways.
•
You’ll also need
to trim any
overgrowth you
might have in
your bushes or
trees, and
that’s what
we’re going to
do here so we’ll
get a good view
of the house
from the outside
and add more
light on the
inside.
Additionally,
well kept
landscaping is
an inexpensive
and easy way of
increasing curb
appeal so we’re
going to weed
this out and
trim this up.
