Spring is just around the corner…no really! Spring officially kicks off in around 30 days! So what are you doing to get your home ready?

Spring is typically considered the best time to market your home. Flowers start to bloom, trees turn green, curb appeal is greatly improved and the kids will shortly be out of school for summer break. BUT with the melting snow comes the realization that all that snow shoveling had scraped away what was your freshly painted or stained deck and the plow did a number on your driveway and mailbox. So now what?

Get a jump on the end of winter and move confidently into spring by taking advantage of periodic warm-up days and sunshine to take inventory of damage that will need repairs. Make a list, get the supplies you need and be ready as the weather improves to fix the most obvious eye sores first and then continue through the hidden but necessary repairs.

Consider putting your home on the market before the “Spring Rush” so you can capture the attention of active buyers now before your competition increases.  It’s true that there are more buyers in the spring BUT there are also a lot more sellers. Be diligent with getting your repairs and refreshments completed and be one of the first homes to hit the pre-Spring market!
