Great Curb Appeal for Your Home with Fall or Halloween Decorations

Fall is one of the largest home decorating seasons we have and in Florida we have to make the change in season a visual one. With the autumn season, Halloween and Thanksgiving the fall home decorating season lasts for about 3 months and here in Florida the weather is warm and delightful.  I am a fall decorating junkie and as a matter of fact, my homes interior has been decorated for fall since September 4th and that same weekend I started my exterior decorating with fall colored mums in my porch planter and a fall welcome mat as well as a few artificial pumpkins on the porch next to the door. Next month I will add all of our spooky Halloween decorations and get ready for All Hallows Eve.

We may go a little fall festive in our home but it is not currently for sale. So, how do you decorate for the fall season if your home is currently on the real estate market for sale?

Realtors always tell you that curb appeal is important when selling your home and this is especially important in the fall. You will want to make your home inviting to your potential buyer from the road while allowing them to see your homes exterior in a good light. I would suggest avoiding putting all those fake cobwebs in your shrubs and skip the ghosts and goblins this Halloween. Decorate for the season and not the Holiday. You will want to aim for more subtle and tasteful exterior fall decorations and limit them to 4 items on your porch or entry way. 

A fall wreath is a great way to decorate your home for the season. A wreath will give your potential home buyers a welcoming feeling and let them know that you care about your home. A well appointed entry way on a home makes a great impression on your potential home buyer.  Adding a few artificial pumpkins and maybe a scarecrow or bale of hay may be another great way to go. Keeping to the rule of 4, you are sure to not go over board. Remember, you want the buyers to see your house and not all your decorations.  There are a few curb appeal basics to keep in mind. Have your lawn cut and edged weekly. Keep those pesky weeds out of the front flower beds. If your mailbox is a bit worn, get a new one. Your house numbers should be visible and presented nicely. Maybe a nice painted tile house number would improve their look. Keep your porch free of debris and cobwebs. Even during Halloween.

We wish you a very peaceful and love filled fall season and all the best in selling your home. Please keep me in mind if you or someone you know is in need of a Realtor in New Port Richey, Trinity, Port Richey or Land O'Lakes Florida. I am always here to help.

How to Do an Online Request for a Market Analysis of Your Home

Requesting a Market Analysis of your home is easy to do online when you remember these tips. Tech savvy agents have a contact form on their website that when filled out, they are emailed directly with your request.  Lets face it, we all work different schedules and you may have trouble getting a real estate agent on the phone in the evening or early morning.  Utilizing the agents website you can contact us at anytime day or night and we will respond to you as soon as possible.

Tips for Making Your Online Request
1- Be sure to fill out the form properly. Include your email address correctly so the agent can email you the market report.
2- Include your phone number. Often times we will not call you but if there are questions we need answered to create your report we may need to call you so we can make your report as accurate as possible.
3- Tell us about your home. How many bedrooms, bathrooms, pool, garage size, updates etc... the more info we have the more accurate your market analysis will be.
4- Allow us a little time. I would suggest you give the Realtor(R) about 48 hours to create and send you the market analysis of your home. If by the third day you haven't heard back, you may want to call or email to follow up.

True professionals will respond as soon as possible and let you know they received your online request and when you can expect to receive the report.  I make an effort to send an email as soon as I read your request and let you know I received it.  You want a tech savvy agent when selling your home and if you reach out to an agent who does not have a online contact form from their website you may want to look to another agent for help.
