Tricia Curtis REALTOR® - SELLING SECRETS YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO MISS

fingerprinted glass might just leave them out in the cold.

First impressions matter, and your front door is the ultimate first impression. Stand outside your house, and if you’re less than satisfied with how your front door looks, change it up! Consider a fresh coat of paint or stain — one of the newest trends in real estate is to make your front door pop with a bold, contrasting color — replace old hardware, and clean any glass surfaces on the door. With something as important as your front door, you may want to put your DIY skills on hold. A professional painter has access to the most durable, weather- resistant materials and will create a pristine finish.

Get a Handyman on Your Side

When you finally accept an offer on your home, you may think the hard work is over.

But unfortunately, that’s not always the case.

Once your buyers order an inspection of your home, chances are, they’re going to come back with a list of demands — or ask for a price reduction based on the list of repairs the inspector says they need. But rather than dropping your price, you can turn to a great handyman to make any last-minute repairs and salvage your deal.
