First Impressions Matter!!!! Mn Top Realtor Ryan Boyer Usa 4% Realty

A great first impression when you meet someone can set the tone for your whole relationship. The same goes with a home. A buyer needs to have a great first impression from the curb and when they open the door. So how do we make sure that we make the best impression possible. Well, there are some simple and cheap ways to make your home make a lasting positive impression.

For starters, make sure the lawn is mowed. Before a showing in the summer make sure that the lawn looks mowed and green. Same goes in the winter, make sure your drive way is shoveled and the sidewalks cleared.

The next step is to make sure your homes exterior is up to par. Cleaning windows and touching up paint makes a difference. Also, adding a fresh coat of stain to the deck will make it look perfect for a summer barbeque.

Anytime there is a showing make sure that all the lights are on and that the blinds are open. A bright home is more inviting than a dark depressing home. I suggest replacing ALL of your light bulbs with the new "high efficiency" 60 Watt bulbs will not only give your buyer a bright home to tour, but will give them an energy efficient home. Anything you can do to make your home more "GREEN," will help (check out the Going Green link on my web site http://www.ryanboyer.com/ & http://www.mntoprealtor.com/).

The last step in making a great and lasting first impression is to buy some glade air fresheners and place them in the bathrooms, entry, and living room/family room. A warming smell that works great is cinnamon apple.

Lets have a Great Summer in Real Estate!!!!
