First Impressions
As you market your home, one thing to keep in mind is that you only have 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 newly mowed lawn and well cared-for yard. 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 your home. An inviting atmosphere creates the effect that your house has been well maintained and taken care of. Homes that convey pride of ownership frequently receive the best offers.
If your home appears disheveled or uncared for, prospective buyers may quickly conclude it's been neglected and in need of repairs. Such a negative impression can result in a less than generous offer. Or, possibly no offer at all.
Try viewing your home through a potential buyer's eyes. Would YOU buy your home?
