You’ve made the decision to sell your home and your goal is to sell for the highest possible price in the shortest timeframe. So you need to make your home appeal to as many buyers as possible. Buyers purchase more homes based on emotion than logic. You need to create an environment that the buyer can connect with. Here are 5 simple steps to prepare the exterior of your home for showing: 1. Improve the Landscaping: If the curb appeal makes a great first impression, the buyer will want to see the rest of the home. Plant seasonal flowers, trim bushes, weed flowers beds, and cut the grass.

Make Repairs: Buyers notice the smallest defects inside and out. Make a list of all the repairs and prioritize which ones need to be taken care of first. Work down the list until repairs have been made. You don’t want to discourage buyers with water leaks or roof damage. 4. Make Your Entryway Inviting: You want buyers to feel at home. Declutter your porch, sweep and remove all cobwebs, refinish or paint exterior door if it looks tired, replace doorbells, add greenery and flowers. Harrell Remodeling 5.
