First Impressions
Everyone wants to make a great first impression, whether for a job
interview or a social function. The same is true of a home that is on
the market. When the "For Sale" sign goes up in front of your home, it
should be "Dressed" for the occasion. Good curb appeal is a major
plus when we market a home. A little bit of work on the front of your
home can pay big dividends.
When a potential buyer pulls up in front of your house, their first
impression is absolutely crucial. Sometimes buyers won't even look at
a home with droopy shutters, sagging gutters, peeling paint and a
bumper crop of dandelions in the front yard. Since the first
impression will be of the front of the house, a well-groomed exterior
is crucial, from the landscaping to the paint. Care of exterior
maintenance. Strong curb appeal will help your home sell more quickly
and for top dollar. Plant flowers, trim your shrubs, and keep the
grass mowed. If a house looks neat and cared for from the street, the
initial good impression will carry over as the buyers step inside.
The interior of your home should be clean and tastefully decorated.
"Light and Bright" are best. Take care of any minor cosmetic repairs
such as cracked plaster or peeling paint, do some quick touch-ups. A
sparkling kitchen, clean bathrooms, spotless windows, and the absence
of clutter will ensure your home "Shows well".
