Curb Appeal
Its that time once again! Get those lawn mowers a moving. The exterior of your house is just as important as the interior when selling your home. Some of my clients have decided to bypass a house based on the outside appearance. If your not going to take the time to care for your house, people will not take the time to look at it. With the increased competition this summer make your home stand out!
I commonly suggest to have an outsider come to your house and give rational suggestions. A person who is not emotionally invested will give you the truth about what your home needs to sell.
Sellers to do list:
1. Paint the exterior of your house or fence if needed - a little paint goes a long way!
2. Trim the hedges, the overgrown grass and weed the garden.
3. Make a seating area in the back or front, sellers can visualize themselves in that seat.
4. Wash the windows and gutters.
5. Trim trees blocking the views.
6. Light pathways
7. Declutter and make sure kids toys and garden tools are put away.
8. Paint your front door a bright color.
A weekends worth of work can define your house and draw more potential buyers to your property.

मोविंग मोविंग MOVING
Make the Move
Recently I moved and it was a nightmare, however, I will know for next time to plan for a disaster. Make sure you have a contingency plan just in case movers do not show up on a scheduled time. A domino effect is created affecting all the other people moving. Call way ahead to book a moving truck and movers; do not wait until the last minute!
Keep extra boxes for the last minute items. I like Tupperware bins and find there are some items you will not be unpacking so the bins will store these items wonderfully.
Children and animals are always a worry when you move. Ask some friends or board them for a couple of days, of course I am referring to animals. I would tell you to board your children too but sometimes involving them in the move will make the transition smoother. Leave out a small box of toys, markers and books for the children to play with on moving day. It is a pain when you cannot find your clothes or toothbrush after moving. I strongly suggest packing a suitcase for everyone with at least two days worth of clothes and toiletries.
Friends are amazing when you are moving, help them help you. Buy colored stickers and color code the boxes to the rooms in your house; if you have a lot of people helping with the move you can direct the boxes in the proper locations. Write down the numbers of some fast food places in the area and purchase some plastic utensils and plates ahead of time. Nothing says "Thank you" better than food!
Planning ahead will save a lot of stress. Happy moving!
