Preparing Your Home or Condo For Sale


Preparing Your Home or Condo For Sale 

Part 1 of 8

The key to selling your house or your condo is a "Great 1st impression". First impression Matters! You the seller have just a few moments to create a winning 1st impression. A home needs to be visually appealing to encourage a sale. Most buyers select there home based on emotion and then justify the decision with facts. Even in a market where homes are selling quickly and at asking price, it is so crucial to spruce up your home and prove it is worth every penny.  

Start with the outside, the 1st impression the buyer will have is the outside. I have been with many buyer who drive up and make a decision to keep driving right to the next property. 
If the buyer is walking up to the property saying ewwww that's there 1st impression walking through the door.
