How Will Buyers See Your Property?

Posted April 12, 2011

It is important for a property to make the best possible impression on prospective buyers. The following can interfere with a buyer’s appreciation of a property: Exterior Clutter Lawn needs mowing and edging Untrimmed hedges and shrubs Dead and dying plants Grease or oil spots on the driveway Peeling paint Anything that looks old or worn Make sure everything is up to neighborhood or HOA standards Interior Worn carpets and drapes Soiled windows, kitchen, baths Clutter Pet and smoking odors Peeling paint, smudges or marks on walls A comparatively small investment in time, money and effort to remove these distractions can lead to stronger offers from buyers.
