JOSEPH SCROFANI JD - THE FOR SALE BY OWNER GUIDE

IMPORTANT AND INEXP ANT AND INEXPENSIVE REPAIRS TO BE MADE

If you’re improving your front door, improving all of your hardware is essential. Use metal polish on the fixtures of the doors, on the knob itself, and for all of the metal components on it. Even though these may seem like pointless details, they’ll make a big difference in how the buyer looks at your home. Another seemingly minor detail: get a welcome mat and a wreath that matches the overall interior style of the home. Though the buyer obviously may not stick with your style of choice, it will help them get a more home-like feel of the house and ensure that they can adequately envision themselves living there for decades. Replacing your light fixtures is also incredibly important when it comes time to sell your home. If you have outdated light fixtures, they immediately set a precedent for the quality of the rest of the house. Buyers want to see that everything is fresh and up to date with current trends and technology. They don’t wish to light fixtures that look like those from the ’80s. However, you don’t necessarily have to install the latest, most expensive light fixtures to make them look better. You can look for fixtures that match the current mounting system installed on your home's exterior, so it will only be a replacement job instead of a completely new installation, which can get rather pricey. If your home is still too dark, add more lights. This can significantly improve curb appeal and provide better security. Solar stake lights are incredibly cheap when bought from home improvement stores. No one will want to break into a home with a well-lit exterior, and they also make life easier for anyone living in the house.
