You Had Them At "Hello"



According to some real estate professionals, more than half of all homes are sold before buyers even get out of their cars. This favorable first impression is called "curb appeal". Sellers should understand that if prospective buyers find the outside of a home attractive, there is a very good chance that they are going to want to see what is inside. On the other hand, if prospective buyers are turned off by an exterior that is not presentable, there may be very little that anyone can do to pry them from their seats to take a tour of the home. With this in mind, sellers should make every effort to freshen their homes' facades and landscaping.

HINT: At the very least, if necessary, sellers should give the front door of their home a fresh coat of paint and even new hardware(a brass door handle and knocker).

Most everyone is familiar with the expression 'curb appeal'. If you are considering the sale of your home, you should take a critical look at the view from the curb. Perhaps a simple yard clean-up would make the difference. At Century21 VantagePoint Realty, I can confer with you regarding your options when preparing your home for selling.
