DEAL BREAKERS: Small Repairs That Make A HUGE Difference When Selling / THE DRIVEWAY


DEAL BREAKERS

A series of posts from Empire Home Staging Solutions, about common home repairs that can often times get overlooked and forgotten by sellers!

Deal Breakers are those small repair jobs that we always put off because we don't have the time to fix them, or we just have become so accustomed to living with them, that we have just forgotten about them all together. Oversights perhaps, but when trying to sell a home these small repairs can make all the difference in whether you have a deal or not. Learn how these simple home repairs can enhance your homes beauty and maximize its true selling potential!

Small fixes that can have a HUGE impact when it comes to putting your home on the market!

When a small home repair is not fixed, it allows potential buyers to negotiate downward on the sales price in order to compensate for the amount of money that will be needed to cover the repair costs.

Leave the guessing out of the equation and repair the deal breakers before placing your home on the market.

THE DRIVEWAY




Often times driveways get overlooked when it comes to preparing a home for sale.

********************

However, a driveway in most instances is in the front of the house and will be one of the first things that potential buyers will see when they come to view a property.






When a driveway has rust & oil stains from cars and/or weeds popping up through the concrete it just isn't a great "First Impression".

Using products from your local hardware or home
improvement store can help eliminate the stains. Following up with a good power wash can really change the appearance of the driveway and give your home great curb appeal.



*******************************

Following these simple steps before putting your home on the market, can give your home the curb appeal it needs.


Let potential buyers know that your home is well maintained. Have your driveway clear of any stains and debris and looking marvelous!
