Prepare Your Home for Marketing!
1)Clean up. This is often one of the least expensive yet most significant things you can do to improve the look of your home. Simply picking up and cleaning up. A clean home is a sellable home.
2) Prune and plant. Cleaning up your landscaping is another relatively easy step. Start by pruning trees and shrubs to enhance their beauty. Then do some planting. Use Low plants and groundcover to tie everything together. Brightly colored flowers in the foreground are a sure way to make a yard look lively.
3) Wash the siding. If you can work safely from the ground or a ladder, this is a job you can do yourself; otherwise, call a handyman or professional pressure washing service.
4) Paint. If cleaning doesn’t revive your house’s paint job, painting—though relatively expensive—will give you plenty of bang for your buck, transforming your house with an entirely fresh, new look. If painting the siding is a bit beyond your budget right now, consider painting just the trim.
5) Green-up your lawn. Because a front lawn often carpets much of the front yard, its condition is critical to how a house looks from the street. You can start with regular mowing, raking, edging, weeding, and watering.
6) Create some visual interest. The pathway, or sidewalk, leads to your front door. Give it some thought and accentuate it (lighting, flowers, etc.).
7) Focus on details. Small things can make a big difference. Your mailbox, house numbers, front light, and potted plants on the porch all present a relatively inexpensive but highly influential opportunity to project style and excellence. Above all, be sure your front door is in great shape. If it isn’t, either refinish or replace it.
