When planning to list your home this Spring or early Summer, curb appeal is extremely important. Flower beds must be tidy. Clean up all dead branches and leaves left from the winter months.

Transform your front entrance so it is so enticing that the new home owner can picture themselves opening the door to their new home. A fresh coat of paint and perhaps a new handset can make a huge difference. Replace that old rusty mailbox if need be. Colourful and unique plant pots can enhance a front porch. Fill with greenery and flowers as we approach warmer May weather.

Make those windows sparkle! Make sure your driveway is clean. Remove old oil stains from the driveway or garage floor.Now is a good time to clean out the garage. A buyer needs to see the potential for parking his car in the garage, not to see the garage as a storage room.

Focus on the back yard as well. Paint the deck if required and repair any fencing. Set up patio furniture on the deck. A potential buyer needs to picture themself enjoying their new yard.Tidy up and expand on landscaping.Don't be afraid to dress up your yard for impact! Now you are ready to concentrate your efforts on the inside..

Did you know? A CMA or Comparative Market Analysis is a format used by real estate representatives to determine an estimate of the fair market value of property. To establish an estimate, real estate representatives compare the property being sold to other properties in the same area that are currently for sale or have recently sold. Similar factors such as square footage, age, number of bedrooms are taken into consideration.
