BACKYARD APPEAL BRINGS PEOPLE BACK

By the time a buyer gets to the backyard the decision may be significantly influenced by the backyard. Hey, the home we live in now, the backyard closed the deal. You want the backyard to be just as beautiful as the front yard. The backyard is generally where outdoor life happens. The front yard invites, while the backyard engages. It's where they can envision themselves relaxing in the sun, having family and friends over, and playing with their children, pets or grandchildren. In the summer, backyards are family areas. If the home has a pool or hot tub, uncover it for showings and make sure the water is sparkling clean. It helps to have or add a few flowers around. No need to go overboard and fill up the yard, though. What you're going for is pretty, elegant and inviting. Patio furniture also helps to make a backyard feel welcoming, and will help the buyer envision themselves sitting outside with friends or family on a spring day, having coffee and tea and enjoying good conversation. You’ll want your backyard appeal to give the buyer a vision that speaks volumes.

YOUR DRIVE-BY GARAGE APPEAL

Potential buyers will quickly drive by your home or park out front and see it for the first time. With many garages opening to the front of the house don't forget to tend to it. Usually the exterior of it will need some attention, pressure washing or painting might be required. Tending to these more minor details help to make a drive-by memorable.
