11 Point Home For Sale Checklist

 

Many potential home buyers simply want to see the exterior of a property that is for sale. The buyer will be looking for a quick and personal assessment of the property. The buyer will save time, effort, and embarrassment by not having to look through a house they don't intend to purchase.

So, first impressions Homes For Sale In Sedona do count! Without a buyer ever stepping foot inside a house, a poor street appeal house can be sold. A house with poor street appeal can quickly go out of business.

A home that is attractive and in good condition will be a draw for potential buyers. A strong street appeal will attract potential buyers to the property, as any real estate agent will confirm.

This means that you should do the following before you list your home. Take a step back and examine your property objectively. Would you consider buying this house? Ask your neighbors and friends to give you their opinion. Ask them to be completely honest with you and don't hold grudges if they make a mistake. You need to know all the facts about your property, good or bad.

It's very easy. It is very simple. The first step to preparing your exterior is to look at your house from the street. Take a look at your property from the street. As if you were seeing your house for first time. What is the most striking? What grabs your attention?

Now, honestly - do you see the gorgeous landscaping or the new fence? Do you notice anything else about the property?

Perhaps the flaking exterior paint is what draws your attention? Maybe it's the holes in your driveway that catch your eye first. It could be the rusty pipes, the garbage cans or the tatty letterbox.

To get you started, here is a quick checklist of 11 points for homes for sale:

1. Is the yard and shrubs maintained well?

2. Is the pathway or garden in need of weeding?

3. Is it safe to store lawn mowers and hoses?

4. Is the driveway in need of resurfacing?

5. Is there cracking in the foundation?

6. Is garbage and debris kept out of sight?

7. Are gutters, chimneys and exterior walls in good shape?

8. Do your shutters, window casings, siding, or doors require painting?

9. Do you need to paint or repair the fence or mailbox?

10. Are the windows dirty?

11. Is the garage door locked?

This is how potential buyers will see your property. You could lose the buyer if the street appeal is poor. They will most likely move to another property, regardless of how lovely the house's interior is.

Although it may sound obvious, many vendors have to learn this lesson the hard way. They fail to sell their property or get the right price.

Make your property stand out among the rest. Your house should be cleaner, more attractive, and more well-maintained. Make sure that your property has street appeal. This is how you can attract a home-buyer who lives nearby and sell your house faster and for a greater price.
