SELLING TIP #5
YARD FACTS
92% of all properties are sold from the CURB. The front of your home immediately reflects the inside condition of your house to the buyers. If there is no curb appeal, the buyers will drive right by the house and go to look and buy another house.
It is important that the house can be seen from the street, so you need to make sure that the trees and bushes are trimmed so the house can be seen from the street. You need to have the grass mowed, trimmed and edged, and if there an inordinate amount of weeds, you need to do something to get rid of them. Plant flowers to give the yard some color and appeal. Walkways should always be swept and the debris cleaned away. Remove parked cars. If there are parked cars in the driveway, you see the cars and not the house. Removing them adds to curb appeal. If the buyer does not like the outside of the house. I guarantee you that the buyer will simply drive by. Another factor in a good presentation is cleaning the windows inside and out. Few sellers do this, and it makes a huge impression not only attention that the seller is giving to the house, but allowing more light into the home which is always a good benefit.

Selling Tip #4
Paint and Carpet Fact
Paint is the best improvement that you can make for getting a good return on your money for a small amount of investment. A freshly painted home smells clean and looks neat. Also, color is in style at this time.
If your house has chipped paint, exposed wood, or the paint looks faded, it is time to do something about it. If your carpet is worn, dirty or outdated or an unusual color, you need to seriously consider replacing it. Many sellers will say that they do not want to replace it, because they, as sellers, will choose something the buyers do not want. This cannot be further from the truth, get rid of the old and update with the new. Giving an allowance does not work.
Buyers choose to buy or not buy based upon just what you show them in your home. They don’t pay top dollars for possibilities. They simply buy elsewhere.
If painting is not necessary in your home, then usually, touch up is necessary. Look for the areas where there are nicks in the wall or black marks where something has hit against the wall. Paint over those areas, so the whole house looks brand new.
