Attention Cedar Rapids Home Sellers: How to get the best first impression from Buyers

Overall, buyers are looking for a home that looks clean, neat and well maintained. By taking care of issues on the exterior, you will be giving your buyers a positive first impression.

Let's take a look first impression items:

1. Next time you drive up to your house look at it like a buyer. Notice what your first impression is? Is the landscaping look good? How does the garage door, driveway and curbs look? Do the bushes and trees block the view of the home? Is the roof in good condition?

2. Paint your front door and mailbox.

3. Wash the exterior of your house. You can get a pressure washer or hire it done. Pressure washing can remove dirt, grime, peeling paint and mildew.

4. Mow your lawn and plant some new fresh flowers.

5. Clean the gutters.

6. Clean oil stains from your garage floor and driveway.
