The market isn't the only factor that influences a home’s selling price. When preparing your home for sale, remember the importance of first impressions. Appearance and overall condition play a major role in selling it. Maximize your home’s appeal with these tips.

Outside
Some industry experts suggest that more than half of all homes are sold before the buyer even gets out of the car. Stand across the street to assess your home’s curb appeal.

Inside
Help potential buyers envision themselves living in your home. This presents your home in its best light.

Important Reminders
• Buyers tend to feel more comfortable if owners aren’t present when their home is being shown.
• Arrange to be out of the house when viewings are scheduled.
• If potential buyers request to see your property unaccompanied by a sales professional, refer them to your real
   estate professional for an appointment.
• Leave a number where you can be reached with your sales professional if you are leaving town, even for
   a weekend.
