When you are selling your home you want people to want to come in and take a look at the inside of the home. But if the outside of the home has not been taken care of very well then you will have people slow down take a look at the outside and keep on going because they do not like the outside of the house.

How can you keep the buyers from driving on by your place?

Go out, from across the street and take a really good look at your home.

* is the yard well keep up, no weeds in the flower bed, lawn is mowed and edged, shrubs and trees are trimmed so that you can see the house.
* no peeling paint on the house.
* things that need to be repaired are repaired.
* make sure that the door bell works, the door does not squeak when it is opened, the hard ware works as it should.
* clean the outside of the house with a pressure washer so that the outside is clean.
