First Impressions Impact Drive By Buyers

Does your house make a good first impression?

In good times and in bad, first impressions count when buying or selling a home.

Potential homebuyers will often just want to drive-by and look at the outside of a property. Why? Because, they simply want to make a quick, personal “no-obligations” assessment. They want to save themselves the time, hassles and possible embarrassment of looking through a house that they don’t intend to buy.

So, first impressions do count! A house with poor “street appeal” can get struck-off a homebuyer’s shopping list, without them even stepping a foot in the door. That potential sale could be lost in a matter of seconds!

Needless to say, a home that is visually appealing and in good condition will attract potential buyers driving down the street. Any real estate agent will tell you that strong “street appeal” will lure those potential buyers inside.

Making your house appealing to the eye, when seen from the street, is essential for a quick sale.
