Tips for Selling your home in Summer Market
Now the weather is nicer in the summer we all can tend to get busier with our social life, schools are ending so vacation are planned, daily trip to the pool is on scheduled. However if you are planning to sell your home in Virginia summer real estate market what you can do to make your home stand out in the crowd????

Inside: Inside still is very important factor while selling your home. Here are tips to enhance your indoor space:

1. Turn on the A/C: Leave the temperature at a comfortable level especially on hot & muggy days. Buyers once steps into your home make them feel relaxed. It has similar effect as fireplace in winter months.
2. Run dehumdifier in the basement, get the soggy, muggy feeling out of the basement especially if you have egrass basement.
3. Open up the blinds, let the sunshine and show buyers how well lite your home is.
4. Clean up after your beach or pool trip. Don't let wet clothes sit in the laundry basket, they stink.
5. Pack up your winter coats, boots, snow tubes, shovels, heavy throws etc...don't remind me of winter months!
6. Bring flowers either from your garden or buy it. Fresh flowers adds freshness and lively feeling to the home.

Outdoors: In Spring & Summer real estate market, outdoor becomes more important then indoors. Buyers want to visualize the can entertain or kids can play in the outdoor space.

1. Plant flowers, give your deck, front porch a punch of color and mulch the flower bed.
2. Clean up after your barbaeque parties. Yesterday I had shown home where people had entertain evening before, they had left empty beer bottles, plates & trash still sitting outside.
3. Get rid of Gnats, mosquites. When the buyer walks around your yard don't let them get distracted by fighthing with bugs instead let them enjoy your backyard.
4. Water your grass!!! Try to keep it green.
5. Check the exterior maintenance paint the front door, repair the rotten trim and fix the holes in screens.
