Sell House Tips: Shrubbery

Shrubbery:
"Shrubbery and other greenery that has an unkempt appearance can often be misconstrued as a sign of neglect, and gives a bad impression of your house overall. Prospective homebuyers who see shrubbery that has not been well maintained may not even be aware of their observation, but it will have an impact on the way they view your property as a whole.


If they do observe the unkempt shrubbery directly, they may make the assumption that the rest of the home has not been properly maintained.


Keep bushes and shrubs neat, and well-shaped, to give the overall impression that the entire property has been well cared for.
...try to keep the shrubbery in line

For that added touch, try to keep the shrubbery in line with the other greenery and outdoor decorations that you have on your property. This will be even more eye-pleasing from the street level, creating more interest."

Sell House Tips: Home Exterior

Home Exterior: "If you take the effort to ensure that the outside of your home is appealing, then it will make certain that potential buyers will want to look at the interior as well. Therefore, it’s obvious that you should work on the outside of your home for precisely that reason.


So let’s get started with the tips…

Tip #1 Tidy Up Outside

Take the time to walk around your property wearing good thick gloves, and carrying a garbage bag. Pick up every bit of refuse, yard waste, and other unsightly things, and throw them away. When the garbage is gone, then do another lap and remove all of the clutter outside. This can include things such as:


* Kids’ toys

* Yard care tools (wheelbarrows, lawn mowers, weeding tools, garden
hoses, etc.)

* Tools

* Bicycles

Depending on how you usually keep your property, this one effort can make a staggering difference to the outer appearance of your home."

Sell House Tips

Question: "Have you been considering selling your home in the near future? If you have, then it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a good long look at your home, using an unbiased eye.


After all, a clean, appealing, well maintained home has much better odds of selling, selling for more, and selling faster.


...first impressions

When looking at your house, the thing you need to keep repeating to yourself is that “first impressions are lasting impressions.” This couldn’t be truer when it comes to selling real estate.


However, this doesn’t mean that you should take on a major renovation project just so that you can sell your property. Remember, there are no guarantees that you would recover the costs of an enormous overhaul.


Instead, take a more conservative approach, and have a look at the different cosmetic improvements that can be made for an overall improvement. These can include things such as cleaning, painting, refinishing, and other such efforts. These are the projects that don’t require all that much capital, and yet they make an immeasurable improvement to the overall look of your home.
