Buyer's Eyes
You have only one chance to make a good first impression--beginning the moment potential buyers drive up.You can help create that good first impression by presenting potential buyers with a well-cared-for yard including mowed lawn. Your front door and porch should be clean and neat, preferably freshly painted.
These first important encounters create a positive impression that carries through to the rest of the home. An inviting atmosphere implies that the house has been well maintained. Homes that convey pride of ownership, especially those that have been staged by a professional, generally receive the best offers.
If the home appears disheveled or uncared for, prospective buyers may quickly conclude it's been neglected and is in need of repairs. Such a negative impression can result in a less-than-generous offer--or possibly no offer at all.
Always pretend you are a potential buyer. Would YOU buy the home?
