Sell Smarter This Summer with a Proven Agent<\/h3>\n

Selling in summer can mean more competition and pressure to move fast. A great real estate agent helps you stand out and stay on track. Partner with a local expert today.<\/p>\n \n

\n Find a top agent<\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Make your yard summer-ready<\/h2>\n

The last thing you want potential buyers to see when they pull up to a home is a dead lawn or yard waste. These are glaringly obvious during the hottest months of the year, which means your outdoor space needs to be a top priority. Don\u2019t make people imagine living in a home in cooler months. Help them visualize living in it now.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

1. Deep clean the yard \u2013 complete the big projects<\/h3>\n

When someone tours your yard, they\u2019re likely assessing projects they\u2019ll need to tackle once they buy the home, and if there are too many projects, they may decide to pass. While some of these projects will be hidden in other seasons, they\u2019re on full display during the summer months. So, if you\u2019re selling this season, check off as many projects as you can, from clearing deadfall to patching the lawn.<\/p>\n

Invest in professional landscaping. On average, this can raise your home’s value by approximately 7%<\/a>, doing wonders for your curb appeal. And while you\u2019re at it, don\u2019t forget to clean out the toolshed! Nothing is worse than needing to sweep out and remove cobwebs from a toolshed before you can move in any of your tools and appliances.<\/p>\n
