Additionally, just because it’s fall, doesn’t mean you can skimp on pool maintenance. As previously stated, pool maintenance is incredibly important when it comes to showing off your pool. No buyer wants to see a dirty pool that’s full of leaves, twigs, and dead bugs. How are they supposed to envision themselves and their family and friends enjoying a hot summer day in the pool if it’s full of disgusting debris? Your pool also still needs to have a chemical level that is fully balanced during the fall, with any and all debris cleaned out on a weekly basis. Just because the leaves in fall look pretty does not mean you should ignore raking them up. Excess fallen leaves are known to hide walkways and sidewalks, and can actually be dangerous. For example, should the leaves get wet, a pedestrian could slip and get hurt on your property. It could very well be a buyer. Rake up the leaves and avoid accidents at all costs—they’re really not that much trouble to deal with. USING CURB APPEAL TO SELL YOUR HOME FOR MORE When it comes time to sell your home, why skimp on the smaller details when you could use curb appeal to your advantage and get more out of the closing price? By having a beautiful home, inside and out, one a buyer would be crazy not to love, you’ll be closing the deal and raking in the cash in no time. Always remember that when selling your home, image is everything and that the exterior of the home matters just as much as the interior. Curb appeal can do wonders for your selling price, and will ensure that your home does not stay on the market for long. • • •
