FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT
First impressions count! Do you remember your first impressions of your present home? What made you want to buy it? The features or amenities that first impressed you are probably the same ones that will sell the house when you decide to move on.
When preparing your home to sell, try to emphasize the unique features that are especially attractive and would make a good first impression on prospective buyers. Highlight unusual architectural features such as bay windows or gazebos with freshly painted trim. Landscaping with trees or flowering shrubs can soften structural lines, or call attention to a beautiful entrance. Whether your home is modern or traditional, the approach to your home makes a statement.
Since most buyers are looking for a home that displays both charm and refinement, it pays to keep your grounds well maintained and attractive. If the exterior appearance of your home and yard is pleasing, buyers will want to see the interior.
