How well does your house

As a homeowner, we all look for one important thing when searching for a house...curb appeal. Simply put, this is the first impression a
potential buyer will have when seeing your property for the first time. Shutters, paint, shrubs, grass, curtains in the window. The list
goes on but what can you do as a potential seller to attract buyers to your property? I have been asked by many homeowners of older
homes, what can be done to inhance the appeal of my property before I place it in the open market?

Well, I hope these helpful hints can find a place on your list of things to do:

The mold season has hit everyone pretty hard. I have found mold to be a problem on the siding of many homes. With a garden hose and a simple brush with a long handle and cleaner you can purchase at the local hardware store. You can scrub the side of the house
and make it look practically new! I do not recommend powerwashing unless you have siding that is not painted.
Turn on all the lights inside and outside the house.
Open all the shades, curtains to allow maximum natural light.
If you have a fireplace, have it burning in the winter or put logs in it during the summer.
I enjoy playing soft music during our open houses to set the mood (The Seller Is Serious About Selling!)
Straighten magazines, newspapers up and place them in a cabinet or neatly in a rack.
Pick up the kids toys and/or display them neatly.
Clean the bathroom and kitchen.
After cutting the grass, rake the extra grass clippings and remove them from the front yard.
Clean the flower bed of dead or alive weeds.
Mulch, mulch, mulch....what else can I say. I love a clean mulched flower bed or tree border.
Remember the less clutter around the house, the better it will show to potential buyers.
Buyers want to see space, not a packed room with furniture. Consider putting some items in storage and keep the house as simple as possible.

Advantage Real Estate is commissioned by many homeowners to sell their homes using the auction method for many different reasons.
We find this list to be helpful when showing homes during our scheduled open houses.

Sometimes homes are empty when commissioned to sell using our auction services, in which case Advantage Real Estate handles all the details necessary in showing the home or commercial property in a professional manner.

The Bottom Line?............Remember...first impressions are everything!
