It's hot and who really wants to go look at property. So as a seller you need to make your home exciting after a day of looking at a bunch of dull homes. Some great ways to make your home stand out is the outdoors.
Flowers are in bloom. Make your yard have a park like feel with ground flowers, pots spread around and planter boxes. Color coordinate the flowers and shrubs for the best effect. Keep them watered so they don't look dead and uninviting.
If your really brave you might want to add a pond. The running water will make the yard seem cooler and relaxing. Not to mention all the great water plants that you can add. They have do it yourself kits at the home stores, but be ready for some work on this project.
Make your patio and deck seem like an extension of the house by decorating those areas like you would a room. If your have plastic, wicker or metal furniture paint them in fun and vibrant colors. Add water proof pillows and cushions and maybe even an outdoor rug. If you have a wood deck bring it back to life with one of the great stains on the market. Same thing for a concrete patio.
Making the outside look as good as the inside is just as important to get your home sold.

"Thank you for all the hard work you put into selling my house. You had an awesome packet put together before you even started selling the house. The pictures were the best I have seen; and not to mention there was a contract for a buyer 5 days after it was put on the market! We couldn't have asked for more! You even found an incredible house for us to move into! Thank you again for all you have done for us!"
-Steve "Cowboy" & Terry Gross
"The Boehm Team represented us when we purchased a second home in Horseshoe Bay. We wanted to move quickly, so she took time to understand what we were looking for and only took us to view properties that fit our criteria. They were professional and extremely responsive to our questions and any issues that came up throughout the process. We would do business with them again in a heartbeat and refer them to all of our friends!"
-Chris Urbanek
"They say that moving is the second most stressful occurrence in life, but thanks to Amy Boehm, selling our home was easy. It was evident that Amy had a good handle on managing the sales process from the beginning with great recommendations to prepare our home to sell and we could not have been more pleased with the marketing strategy used as the volume of interested buyers was great. Thanks to Amy Boehm, selling our home was a fast, efficient, and simple process."
-Kris Ryan
"I recently found myself in the market for a second home and selecting Jennifer Beaudet as my realtor was one of the greatest choices I've ever made. Finding the right property was effortless and we had an accepted offer within days. Jen then went to work securing a quick close date and continued to follow up daily on the progress we were making. The personal attention I received was absolutely unbelievable. At times, it seemed as if I was her only client. She remained right there with me every step of the way and certainly made the entire process enjoyable. Without hesitation, I would DEFINITELY recommend Jennifer Beaudet and the Boehm Team to anyone looking for real estate.
- Jon Ramsey
When we decided to move to a new area of San Antonio, My Boehm Team stepped in and made the transition a quick, easy and fun process!Within one week we had a contract on our new home and had sold our current one. Amy's expert knowledge of the market areas and value of homes ensured that we didn't waste a lot of time haggling over cost and worrying about closing the deals. We've recommended them to our friends and family....and we certainly plan to come back when we're ready for the next move!
