First Impression May Be Your Last When Selling Southeast Michigan Real Estate
Posted in Southeast Michigan Real Estate by Michigan Real Estate Expert on April 5th, 2010 When people meet you for the first time, their first impression is usually a lasting one. You also never get a second chance to make that first impression when you’re selling your Southeast Michigan real estate in Oakland County. You need to present your home at its very best all the time.
Here are 3 things you can do to make a great first impression:
1. Clean up the yard: A messy yard is a distraction. It can be time consuming to keep up with general yard work, but it’s worth the effort. Overgrown shrubs, limp lawns, and general disarray can turn off a potential buyer. If you have to hire someone to come in and give your yard a quick pick me up, it’s worth the money.
2. Get Rid of Items You Don’t Need: Be very strict about this and get rid of all but the bare necessities. You don’t have to throw or give everything away. Find a storage unit and put the things in there you will be taking with you to your new home but do not need immediate access to for now.
3. Fix Up the Little Things: Little things count. If you have a leaky faucet, a broken tile in the floor or a crack on the wall, now is the time to fix it. Little flaws like this make potential buyers worry that there are bigger problems waiting to be found.
Selling Southeast Michigan real estate is a lot of work. You can get it sold faster, easier and for the most money when you take the time to make a great first impression.
