    Landscaping and Curb Appeal

    Landscaping And Curb Appeal. You’re getting ready to sell your home this summer. You’ve made a list and slowly you are knocking out the little chores that need to be done around the house to increase value and get you the best offer possible.

    I’m sure you’ve heard the term first impression. Well, that doesn’t necessarily mean when you’re potential buyers cross the threshold and smell fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.

    You must be aware that most potential buyers are out driving around, looking at neighborhoods, and most likely critiquing your home from the outside before ever making an appointment with their realtor.

    Curb appeal is incredibly important when listing a home and it goes beyond mowing your lawn and throwing down some fresh bark. Curb appeal encompasses the entire picture.

    White picket fence, fresh exterior paint, shrubs, trees, leaves, flower beds, driveway, etc. Purchasing a home is the largest investment most people make so why wouldn’t they take everything into consideration.

    After all, how you take care of the outside, most likely reflects how you take care of the inside. Neglecting your yard can come back to haunt you in the game of Real Estate.

    Many people can look past bad grass or some dying plants, but when considering landscaping, make the most of the term, “low maintenance” Perhaps add some weed shield, trim back bushes to manageable conditions, edge, trim, power wash, and most importantly clean up the leaves, garbage and keep your lawn mowed the entire time.

    There isn’t a huge cost in keeping up your yard, but if you are looking to get into some yard renovations, there are plenty of resources and amazing local companies who would be happy to help.

    If you don’t have the time, patience, or money to get your place into shape to list on the market and you just need to be done with your property, you can always call a cash buyer like PDX Renovations.

    We make it quick and easy to get you a fair market value offer within one hour. Save yourself the headache and allergy attacks by calling us today and we even take care of the garbage…

     

  • Home projects for winter

    Winter is a tough time for a lot of us: We get sick of the rain and dreary weather each and every day, but we yearn to find things to do. We’re less energetic, the days are shorter and many of us just don’t have enough time for extra projects around the house. Enjoying a quiet lazy day around the house once in awhile isn’t a bad thing, but if you’re going stir crazy there’s some well needed things to do around the house. Home projects for winter are possible and can help pass the time. Summer always seems like a better time to start home improvement projects, but here are few things that are great to do during the winter hours to keep your mind and body busy during these long, cold winter days.

    Top improvement projects in winter to get you off the couch:

     

    • Interior painting: This is something you can do by yourself or something you can prepare for a hire out. Just do your homework, there are plenty of painters out there, but you need to find a good one with great reviews and a good work ethic who you can trust in your home. Cold weather is actually ideal for drying paint.

     

    • Install a backsplash in your kitchen or bath: A small project that can make a big difference in your space. It’s fairly inexpensive and pretty easy to do.

     

    • Change out your light bulbs: You know there’s at least two or three in your home that you’ve been neglecting, thinking you’ll get to it later. So why not now. Take a tour of your home and make a list of what you need for each fixture, stock up even and while you’re at it, change batteries in your smoke detectors!

     

    • Refurbish your doors: Either paint or refinish interior doors, redo door knobs, give them some pizzazz as well as brightening up your hallways.

     

    • Organize your mudroom: Turn your muddy, messy mudroom into an organized, clutter free area with some simple shelves, maybe a paint job or perhaps even a new floor. It’s the room you use a lot of in the winter, so why not spruce it up now.

     

    Take the time to make a list of what you’d like to see done and improved as far as home projects, list it out in order and make a plan of action. It will help cure those winter blues and give your home added value.

  • Selling vacant homes

    So you’ve got an extra house. It’s vacant, taking up your time and energy, but for what? Will you be renting it out or perhaps putting it on the market? Whatever your decision will be, you’ll most definitely be spending some big money in preparations.

    Renters require a certain amount of time, energy and patience and having the house up to a “rental satisfaction” will mean making sure everything is in working order. Selling a house will take even more attention as now you are not only considering the renters, you have to consider your realtor and what they would want you to do to get it into sale shape, the inspection company, who will tell you everything tiny thing that needs fixing and the new buyer who might insist on a new roof or new carpets before they make an offer. There are plenty of things to consider.

    Your vacant house can also be subject to vandalism, pest infestation, dry rot, overgrown vegetation etc. Without proper maintenance, even a nice home can become subject to a multitude of problems. Owning a vacant house can be a headache on so many levels.

    So now you’ve decided that the vacant home needs to go, but you don’t want to spend a ton of money out of your pocket. So why not consider a cash sale. We buy houses, vacant homes, lots and land with no money out of your pocket. We even take care of the garbage.
