Replacing outdoor light fixtures is also important when it comes time to sell. Update outdated light fixtures, as those accessories reflect on the exterior of your home. Buyers want to see that everything is fresh and up-to-date with the times, and not deal with light fixtures that look like they’ve been around since the 1980s. You can and should look for fixtures that match whatever mounting system you currently have installed on the exterior of your home, though, so it will only be a replacement job instead of a completely new installation. Bring in more outdoor light, especially if your home is away from streetlights or appears too dark at night. This helps make a huge impact when it comes to curb appeal, and provides a better sense of security. Solar stake lights are inexpensive and available from home improvement stores. Lighting the exterior of your vacant house is wise as a genuine security improvement just as much as it is good for the feeling of security: there is less chance that someone is going to want to break into a home with a well-lit exterior.
PICTURES/VIDEO
The pictures you take or have taken of your inherited property will play a leading role in making a sale. Great pictures set your offering above other homeowners battling for the same buyers. Which seller would you trust more from the get-go? The one who posts casual pictures that capture dishes in the sink or a sock in the corner, or the one who gives the impression of a pristine lifestyle? After all, you are asking these people to make your house their home. You can build up the buyer’s confidence in the quality of your for-sale home by putting in some extra effort. Those who put in the effort reap the rewards.
