Falling Leaves and Falling Temperatures

Cold weather can wreak havoc on a household. Water can seep into unexpected places – the driveway, foundation, chimneys, walk-ways – and cause damage as it freezes. The fall season is a great time to build up defenses against freezing water in preparing your home for sale.  Even in a buyers market, a well maintained home is a home buyers dream!

Lower Temperatures and Higher Bills

Check all doors and windows for leakage are a great way to ensure energy efficiency to fight the cold. A single tube of caulk goes a long way to making your home warm and inviting to perspective homeowners.

Curb Appeal Year Round

Even though your beautiful summer landscape is fading, think about the curb appeal to potential home buyers into the fall and winter months.  Are the leaves and old foliage removed from the yard?  Can you add fall color with seasonal plants and decorations? How can you keep the walkways clear for potential home buyers?

Let The Sun Shine

This is a quick tip for anyone looking to sell their home, make sure the glass in your windows and storm-doors is sparkling clean allowing the greatest amount of sunlight in! Nothing is more inviting to a perspective buyers than a bright, cheerful room.  While you are at it make sure all blinds and curtains are clean and well maintained as well!
