Preparing your home to sell can sometimes seem overwhelming. Here's the first tip to get your home ready: 

Make sure that the outside of your home looks perfect. If buyer's drive by and think your yard is a mess, they won't even stop the car!!!

Make sure the yard is clear of debris.

Add some color to the front, with new flowers.

Pressure-wash the concrete.

Make sure all of the shrubs are trimmed, so people can see your home.

Make sure the windows are clean inside and out!!!

Store any evidence of animals, this immediately can turn buyers away.

 

Any other questions, please feel free to email me.

 

Good Luck
