Spruce up the exterior of your home, improve "curb appeal" and make buyers want to see the inside.
Lawn & Yard:
Front Entrance:
A well kept lawn implies a well maintained home. Cut lawn weekly while showing your home. Rake leaves and sweep sidewalk on weekends when house is to be shown.
Remove dead limbs and debris from shrubs and trees.
Plant extra flowers for more color or spruce up landscaping with potted flowers.
Repair fences and touch-up with paint or stain.
Store lawn equipment, toys and other outdoor items away neatly. Board dog or other large pets with neighbors while showing the house
Repaint or replace mailbox.
The front entrance of your home is a key part of the "First Impression." Paint, clean or stain the front door. Remove old screens if they don't fit or operate properly.
Make sure entry light and doorbell are in working order.
Replace missing house numbers and make sure the number is visible from the street in the early evening.
Put out a nice welcome mat and a potted plant if you have room on steps or entrance way.
Roof, Windows and Siding:
Experienced home owners often ignore miss-aligned shutters, bent gutters and loose shingles (unless there is a leak). These things jump out at first-time home buyers as signs to avoid your house.
Paint and repair gutters. Repair loose shingles and flashing in roof, especially when visible from the ground.
Paint window sashes, trim and shutters. Replace cracked window panes, and wash entire window.
Clean and paint siding as needed. White or something very close is the best color for aluminum, wood or synthetic siding.
