🏡 MaryLou’s Real Estate Tip of the Month👇

Top 5 Things Homebuyers Secretly Judge About Your Home 👀

• Smell: Buyers notice it before they notice anything else. Keep it fresh and neutral with open windows and clean fabrics (think “clean laundry,” not “air freshener overload”).

• Cleanliness: Dust and clutter make buyers wonder what else you’ve skipped. Wipe down light switches, vents, and baseboards — those little details scream “well cared for.”

• Lighting: Bright sells. Open blinds, replace dim bulbs, and use mirrors to bounce natural light around.

• Curb Appeal: The outside sets the tone. Tidy up the yard, add a little color at the door, and make your entry say “welcome home.”
