Get the best curb appeal - Staging your house

Cosmetic changes can drastically influence how quickly your property sells and at what price. When preparing a home for sale, try viewing it with the eyes of a potential buyer. First step out to the curb and look for distracting factors, things that have been left unattended for a while, or items in need of repair. Then walk through the whole house and see what could be done to neutralize colors, and make the house show its best side. Here are some things to look for:

  • Sweep the walkway and the driveway. For a new look consider having the driveway and the facade pressure washed. If the paint appears faded or is chipping, paint the outside of the house. This is one of the best investments you can make. Keep colors neutral and light. Give extra consideration to the entrance and the front door.

  • Remove weeds from flowerbeds. Trim shrubs and lawn. Make sure that people can see your house and it is not hidden behind a wall of brushwork. There is an old saying that you can only sell what people can see.

  • Fertilize and water your yard and landscaping for a lush look. Add fresh mulch or accent stone gravel to your flowerbeds. Add a colorful accent with fresh flowers.

  • Remove newspapers, toys and park extra cars away.

  • Take garbage cans and recycling bins out of sight. Garden hoses should be stored away. Consider landscaping around air condition units and utility boxes for a natural look.
