Addressing the Exterior - What Real Estate Agents Do!

We often hear of the claims that Realtors get more from the sale of their own homes than their clients. This could be because Real Estate Agents know how to get Top Dollar for their homes. Really, they package, market and sell homes for a living.

When it comes to selling their own homes, this is typically what a real estate agent would do to the exterior before putting it on the market.

Real estate agents understand the importance of "curb appeal". To beautify the exterior of the home, they know to focus on the driveway, entranceway, landscaping and front door.

- The front lawn and shrubs are manicured. Gardens are mulched.

- All clutter is removed from the front lawn.

- Cracks in the driveway and walkway are fixed.

- Gutters and downspouts are cleared and in good working order.

- Chipped or fraying paint on door and window frames is removed, and fresh paint is added.

- The front door is painted or replaced if needed.

- The exterior of the house is painted if needed.

Real estate agents understand what it takes to sell homes. By not having to overcome the scepticism that sometimes comes from sellers, the agent can just do what it takes to get the home ready to sell. We all know that making the home shine will typically result in a faster sale at a higher price.

Many sellers think the more fix-up work they do, the higher the price they will get. That's not true. Beyond the necessary fix-ups, you can easily start wasting your money. Never do any unnecessary fix-ups prior to selling.
