Studies show that we make up our minds about people within seconds of meeting them. So it stands to reason that prospective buyers are doing the very same thing with your house, especially in a red-hot real estate market. More buyers these days are sizing up your space and making lightning-quick decisions about whether it's worth investigating further—or whether they should hop back in the car and move on to the next house.
So if you want to be sure buyers don’t scurry out the door moments after they arrive, you have to create a fantastic first impression.
Not sure where to begin? It all starts with looking at your home with fresh eyes. Luckily, we've broken down seven simple steps you can follow to put your home’s best face forward.
