Your home’s exterior will be the first impression for potential buyers.
To make your house stand out, ensure that leaves are raked, snow is shoveled and shrubbery is trimmed and neat.
If you have flower beds or gardens, you will need to weed them. Siding might need to be power washed, and we suggest a potted plant or seasonal decoration near the front door.
For rear patio or deck, comfortable furniture arrangements work great. You want the home to look inviting and welcoming, but don’t want to overdo it with too many decorative objects, as it can get too distracting. Remember, less is more!
