Top 5 Ways to Prep Your Exterior to Sell This Spring

The real estate market at the Lake of the Ozarks continues to hold strong! That means it's the perfect time to sell your home at the Lake of the Ozarks. Our experienced team of real estate agents in Lake Ozark, MO is here to help you sell! We've even provided a few tips on how to prepare the exterior of your home this spring to bring top dollar. Check it out:

1. Prune Shrubs and Trees

Early spring is a great time to trim back those trees and shrubs around your home. A clean and crisp appearance is what you'll want to draw in potential buyers. If someone is interested in buying your home, they may drive by your house before making a decision to schedule a tour of the inside. Ensure the exterior gives them a reason to want to see more! 


2. Green Up Your Lawn

Treat your lawn to eliminate any weeds around your lawn. As potential buyers are walking up to your front door for a tour, you don't want them looking around the lawn with disappointment. You can also treat your exterior with seed and fertilizer to help green up that lawn! Who doesn't want the greenest yard on the block?!


3. Add Colors to Landscape

Easily add touches of color around your landscape. From colorful plants to striking flowers, you can find unique ways to fit the look of your home and to add some splashes of color around the outside of your home. A colorful splash here and there can give little joyful vibes to potential buyers as they drive by or walk up for a showing. 


4. Clean Up Any Debris

The winter months can bring about some debris around the outside of your home. Ensure your sidewalks and driveway are clean. This can easily be done with a power washer or by a professional cleaner. Also, walk around your home and make sure there are no twigs or limbs down. Having debris like that can lead a potential buyer to think you don't care for your space as well as you should, which is not the vibe you want buyers to get. 


5. Stage Porch 

Your front porch or entryway is likely the focal point of the exterior of your home, at least from the street or driveway view. Pay extra attention to this space to make it extra inviting. Consider adding a colorful plant or an eye-catching piece of furniture. And don't forget about the welcome mat! Front door mats get dingy and worn over time. Consider adding a new, crisp mat to complete your porch!
