Getting
the House Ready to Sell
The Exterior of the House
Most real estate advice tells you to
work on the outside of the house first, but unless there
is a major project involved, it is probably best to
save it for last. There are two main reasons for this.
First, the first steps in preparing the interior of
the house are easier. They also help develop the proper
mind set required for selling - beginning to think of
your "home" as a marketable commodity. Second,
the exterior is the most important.
A homebuyer’s first impression
is based on his or her view of the house from the real
estate agent’s car. They call that first impression
"curb appeal."
So take a walk across the street and
take a good look at your house. Look at nearby houses,
too, and see how yours compares. Then it may be time
to go to work.
