FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE HARD TO BREAK

 

Most home buyers form an opinion about your home within seconds of seeing it for the first time. They will probably spend less than 15 minutes touring your house, and they are going to see many other houses with similar features and amenities. Remember, you have one chance for a first

impression so make your home the one the buyers remember by giving them a great first impression.

“curb" appeal

 

The way your home looks from the street can make or break the sale.

 

A large percentage of home buyers decide whether or not to look inside a house based on its curb appeal. The good news is that you can help the

situation by spending some time freshening up its exterior appearance for a great first impression.

 

The best way to get started is by viewing your property from the home buyer’s perspective. Ask yourself what is your first impression of the home

front, what are the best and worst features and how can you enhance, improve or minimize them?

get de-cluttered

 

Now that you are in sell mode and detached from your home, set your mind in moving mode. You are moving shortly so get a head start by packing items you can live without for the moment. This will give you a chance to de-clutter. The idea is to leave a blank canvas for buyers to fill in with their own ideas.

 

 

 get detached

 

It’s difficult to look at our own house in the same way that potential home buyers do. When we become accustomed to the way something looks

and functions, we cannot see its faults. Decide right now to stop thinking of the property as a home. It’s an asset you want to sell for the highest

dollar possible.
