Selling Your Fredericksburg Home?

Aug 10, 2009

One of the first steps is to view your Fredericksburg Texas home from the perspective of a potential buyer.  It is estimated that more that 50% of buyers make the decision to buy even before they get out of their car.  Take a drive around the block and consider how the curb appeal of your home compares with the neighborhood.  Then focus on your immediate neighbors in a side by side comparison.  Does your landscape look fresh and appealing?  Here are some things to do to improve the appearance of your home.


Mow and water lawns regularly

Sweep walkways.

Remove toys and any litter.

Trim trees, shrubs and weed flower beds.

Place shrubs or fencing to block unwanted views.

Make repairs to walls, fences, planters etc.

Still considering curb appeal, attention to exterior maintenance helps to give the impression that the home is well maintained on the inside. Take the time to check the following.


Paint on doors and the polish on door hardware.  Watch for dirt and hand prints around door frame.


Visible and tidy street address numbers on the home.


Wash windows, screens, ac unit and clean pool.


Clean oil stains from the garage and driveway.


Fix leaky faucets and coil hoses.


Clean around trash cans and make the woodpile neat and tidy.

Doing the things that make the outside appear not only presentable but strikingly well maintained is a proactive step towards selling your Fredericksburg TX home. For the potential buyer, stepping through the front door with a positive impression will help them see the best aspects of your home on the inside as well.
