adding landscaping also give your house more curb appeal. The goal here is to get more money for your home. Home buyers generally aren’t interested in a home that needs work unless you want to sell below market value. Look around your yard and make a written list of everything that could be improved: • • Shrubs trimmed, flower gardens tended, and walkways tidy; beds weeded • • No trash, trash cans, lawn clippings, branches, or general mess in the yard • • All outside fixtures and components working and in good repair (door and yard lights, garage door, porch rails); functioning properly and looking their best • • Outdoor features such as patio furniture or the deck updated with staining or painting Make all major and minor improvements to update the exterior of your property. There might be a long list of things to do. It takes hard work to get a home ready to sell. Anyone can put a house on the market, but not everyone sells quickly or with great profits. Then, await the prospective buyers who will be drawn to the inside of your home when they see how beautiful it is from your curb!
