If you are preparing your home for sale, I am going to present a few inexpensive ideas that can bring you thousands of dollars and a quicker sale. The number one factor is curb appeal. The first impression is where they will automatically form an opinion of your property before they even step food inside. There are a few basic things to bring out your home’s curb appeal. Making sure the lawn is cut, the grass is green and there is no weeds coming through gives the property a well-manicured look. You want to make the look inviting and fresh and also show the buyer that you’ve taken care of your home. Paying attention to the front and back yard is key and be sure to take care of any broken fence pieces or peeling paint.

Moving onto the interior of your home, the simple task of decluttering alone will bring you thousands of dollars. When you have me out to your home, I will point out what we can do and the changes you can make. Also, give your home a scrub down because a clean will also bring in more money. Be sure to move around furniture because when enter a home after being outside, your pupils dilate and things appear smaller.
