It seems like the dog days of summer are just around the corner. If you haven’t gotten to your Spring cleaning, you might want to get started. The sunny beautiful days provide us a chance to get outside and take care of the yard and improvements around the outside of the house.

In my experience showing homes, I am always taken by how effective curb appeal, cleanliness and presentation can be. Most Buyers will see 4-5 homes consecutively in the same day and the home that is clean and well presented can really set itself apart from other comparable homes. A first impression is so important. Most Buyers have made up their mind within minutes of previewing a home, sometimes seconds. A well maintained home that shows pride of ownership (all the time, not just one week before you sell) will always attract more buyers and ultimately get you the most money when you Sell. The Spring can be a great time to Spruce up your place a little bit, move some things to storage, power wash the patio, give some old clothes to big brothers or Salvation Army.

Maybe you’ve been considering home renovations? My network is your network and I have numerous contacts in many trades that I would be happy to recommend. One that comes to mind is my good friends over at “Best Quality Roofing” My brother and sister just gave their website a makeover. These guys are reliable, they give fair prices and they get the job done on time.  Click here to check out the website.

I hope you’ve had a great Spring and I hope I’ve inspired you to do some “de-cluttering”. I’m off to power wash the patio…..
