security measures. • Keep your lawn cut. Don't underestimate the simple message that a freshly cut lawn can give to potential buyers. While nice grass might not be the reason someone buys your home instead of another home, an unkept lawn may leave potential buyers looking for other maintenance issues inside. Consider this: even if you have a completely remodeled home, if your grass is overgrown or has bare spots in the front yard, potentially buyers will have a negative impression of your home before they ever see the nice updates inside. Curb appeal is one of the most essential elements in selling your home quickly and successfully. You can create interest in your home before buyers even step out of the car, even if they didn’t think they were looking for a home like yours. If you put money into cleaning up the outside of your home, buyers will be far more likely to want to see the inside. Your home’s curb appeal draws buyers in, maintains their interest, and sets your home apart from the competition. Remember that unless you are willing to lower your home’s price well below market value, prospective homebuyers typically won’t want to take on a major renovation project.
