1.
Rake and
dispose of leaves and pine needles. A yard that needs leaf removal can cost
a seller. Leaving a mess of leaves that need to be raked can make a buyer think
the house needs work, whether it does or does not.
2. Consider planting ornamental kale and cabbage in containers. Ornamental varieties from the
cabbage family will add color and withstand the chills of winter.
3.
Clean out the gutters. Clean, leaf-free gutters tell potential buyers that you’ve
kept up with the maintenance on your Denver real estate.
4. Keep decks and patios in good repair. Treat the wood, wash down the deck, repair
any loose boards or hand rails. Spray-wash any moss or algae that might be
growing due to wet weather.
5. Add adequate
lighting. Many prospective buyers meet their Denver real estate agent after
work for home tours. It is helpful to install solar walkway lights to illuminate
paths and the driveway. Also turn on
outside lights and consider adding a few temporary spot lights to focus on the
home’s architecture or landscaping.
6. Set out
your patio or garden furniture during fall and winter months. Keep them
clean and inviting. The buyer will look at the back deck or patio and quickly
see it is a place to be enjoyed.
7. Make the
front door the focal point. Hang a large wreath that showcases the striking
colors of autumn like browns, golds, oranges and reds. Buy one or make your own
with dried or fresh autumn leaves, berries and pine cones.
