Presentation Tips

Look over the following list of areas that may need attention when preparing the exterior of your property:

Lawn -	Keep your lawns cut, with neat edges. Reseed any bare patches and perhaps fertilise for additional colour.
Shrubs/Trees -	Trim branches where necessary, especially around windows to allow natural light into the house. Remove any dead limbs.
Garden Beds -	If appropriate, plant colourful flowers. Also add mulch to beds and remove all weeds. Perhaps place showy annuals in pots near the house entrance.
Paths -	Keep all paths swept
Windows -	Repair any broken windows and wash all glass.
Eaves -	Wash and remove spider webs.
Drains/Spouts -	Unblock and clean.
Paintwork -	Attend to any flaking paint after discussion with your agent.
Doors -	Wash down your front door and its surrounds, polish brass fitting and repair any torn fly wire.
Fences -	Straighten, repair or repaint only after discussion with your agent.
Junk/Rubbish -	Remove all junk and rubbish, e.g. car parts.
Pools/Ponds -	Make sure these are clean.
Garage -	Keep your garage door closed.
