When you are marketing your home, you need to stop thinking of it as ‘home’; you need to change your perspective to considering it a ‘product’. You need to present that product in its best light, and it should be prepared anytime a potential buyer comes by. Now, a lot more potential buyers drive by your place than come in, and the reason they just keep going is nothing about your exterior ‘grabs them’.
Think about it. Most homeowners have hundreds of people pass by their home every day, and a lot of them are potential buyers. Just having a sign our front gets you an extra look. Make sure it engages the looker. It’s called curb appeal, and it is not that hard to create. Stand out front and critically examine the exterior of the building and the yard. A fresh coat of paint on just the trim will make that building ‘pop’, and it is a fraction of the cost of painting the whole house. Simple edging of the grass along the sidewalk, driveway, and around trees and shrubs provides a crisp, well cared for impression and only takes an hour or two every few weeks to maintain.
