Step Two
Getting your home ready to sell
Inspect your home from top to bottom

Roof
Replace all damaged and missing shingles.
Professional companies can remove most roof stains.
Clear roof of all debris.

Gutters and down spouts
All gutters and down spouts should be attached.
Clean all the leaves and debris out of the gutters.
All down spouts should be connected to the perimeter drains, if separation exists add extensions.

Grading
Ground settlement and erosion can compromise exterior grading.
Poor grading could allow water to penetrate basement walls.
Correct poor grading by adding additional dirt around the foundation.

Paint touch-up
Inspect all wood trim, fascia boards, doors and mailbox for peeling paint. Sand affected areas and repaint. A fresh coat of exterior paint really makes the home stand out. Faded and peeling paint screams poor maintenance and upkeep.
