FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE LASTING

FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE LASTING

Exterior

• Curb appeal is important! Most buyers make a decision about a house at first sight.

Buyers will respond best if your home has been meticulously maintained.

• Landscaping: Be sure lawn is mowed, edged, watered. Prune trees and weed

flowers beds.

• Driveway: Keep garage closed and driveway free of cars and debris.

• Roof: Repair/replace damaged/loose shingles.

• Walkways/Steps/Walls: Keep them clean; minimize cracks and crumbling; keep

them clear of obstructions including toys, snow, etc.

• Windows: Check appearance of window coverings from the curb.

• Paint/Caulking: Repair peeling paint and loose caulking.

• Insects/Rodents: Take steps to eliminate.

• Waste: Pick up any pet waste. Check home appearance from curb - make sure things look clean and clear.

Front Entrance

• As the agent unlocks the home, buyers have extra time to notice small details.

• Eliminate any cobwebs or dirt around doorway entrance, windows, and porch lights.

• Depending on weather, consider putting flowering plants in the entryway.

• Apply a fresh coat of paint to door and frame.

Interior

• Curbside decisions are reaffirmed once the buyer sees the interior of a home.

• Consider hiring a cleaning service to give the home a thorough cleaning and

remove all clutter.

• Crowded rooms can be made to look more spacious by putting excess furniture

in storage.

• Kitchen counters should be clear. Consider what a professional decorator would do.

• Closets and cupboards will be opened! Keep closets, cupboards, even attics neat

and orderly.

• Repaint/clean walls windows and floor coverings as necessary with light,

neutral shades. Bright rooms look bigger and neutral colors allow buyers to

envision their belongings in a home.

• Repair cracked windowpanes, dripping faucets and burned-out light bulbs.

• Inspect plaster, walls/wallpaper, and tiles. Repair cracks, holes or other damage

as needed.

Warm and Welcoming

• Make your home inviting so buyers feel welcome.

• Fresh baked cookies in the kitchen and subtle scents of potpourri in bedrooms

and baths make your home more inviting and warm.

• Consider placing an attractive set of towels in each bathroom that are only brought

out for showings.
