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.
