Remember
that first impressions are always critical.
As a potential buyer walks toward your house
one of the first things they see is the
driveway. If you have oil stains or leaks on
your cement driveway the buyer will look
down and notate this negative aspect of your
home. There are usually minor negatives with
every house and you don’t want to put
something negative in their heads before
they enter your home. Instead, spend a few
minutes with Drano or any high powered
liquid cleaner and sweep those old stains
away. Please use caution and read all
manufacturers’ warnings before you begin
this task.
Now that you have handled this task on the
outside of your home, make sure you also
address the issue inside your garage as
well. Do your best to clean and organize
your garage. You are going to have to handle
this task anyway so do it now instead of
after you begin showing your home. The
garage for most of us is a place to
accumulate those things that you normally
wouldn’t put inside your home. Old cans,
broken garden hoses and bits of lumber from
some long ago project have probably found a
home in the corner of your garage. Now is
the time to clean out these items.
If it isn’t an item that will garner a place
on the moving truck get rid of it now. One
of the places a home buyer will most
certainly look is the garage
A clean
organized space in a place that is typically
messy and unorganized will put the prospective
customer at ease. If the seller takes care of
their garage this way then the upkeep on the
rest of the house must also be well cared for is
what they will think. If you have any questions
or comments, please do not hesitate to call me
in my office.
