Having trouble selling? Start with the Front Door.When we speak with people about listing their home, it surprises some that one of the first things we ask people about is the front door. Pricing, staging, fixing loose cabinet knobs and painting over the crayon marks – all righteous things to do. But consider your front door. Is it dark, dirty and depressing? Paint peeling? Is there a bleached out fading circle where the old lock used to be?
We tell clients to do these four things:
- Paint it. If you can get away with a bright color, do it. Use high gloss. It makes potential buyers less fearful of walking into the house.
- Place two plants on the ground, one on either side of the door. Something green, even if you’re a plant
