Jason Robie: Sellers quick fix

With the weather finally rolling into a nice steady warmth, I've been enjoying some cycling and hiking and still find myself looking forward to more time in the woods and on the road. As the temps have been climbing, so has interest in real estate. We have all seen more signs popping up like colorful perennials so the competition is growing as well. If you are skipping down the "selling" road this year (and you want to spend more time hiking and less time selling) here are a few tips to get your home in tip-top shape and your boots up to the Tip Top House!

All of these projects are relatively quick, but provide some pretty good dividends. The first one is simply cleaning up around the yard and exterior of your property. Simple projects like hosing down the siding, painting the garage door or maybe even replacing gutters and down-spouts can do wonders for that "first impression." I ended up re-raking my whole yard this year because the lingering leaves from last year simply looked terrible.
