They say you can’t judge a book by its cover and that may be true, but when it comes to selling your property – prospective buyers will definitely judge your home by the exterior. Many times interested buyers who are driving by a home for sale may not take the time to explore the interior of the house based on assessments they make regarding the exterior. If you have overgrown brush, an unsightly paint job or an unkempt yard – you are sure to limit the number of interested buyers. Improving your homes curb appeal can lead to a much faster sale of your property.
Let’s start with the obvious, your yard should be mowed and your trees or hedges should be pruned or trimmed accordingly. You don’t want an interested home buyer imagining all of the landscaping he or she is going to have to do as soon as they move in. If you don’t have the tools to properly landscape your yard, you can hire a landscaping company to come in a few days before your open house. You may also consider planting rows of flowers that will be in bloom while your open house is taking place.
The next thing to take care of is your driveway. If you have multiple cars parked in your driveway or yard, either put them in the garage or park them down the street during your open house. If your driveway is cracked or eroded and you cannot afford to pour new concrete, then consider hiring a driveway sealing company to come and give your driveway a fresh, clean coat. You’ll be surprised how greatly this improves the attractiveness of your home’s exterior.
Most people who are moving out of a home don’t want to spend the time or money on a new coat of exterior paint. If this is not something you are willing to do, then think about hiring a power washer to spray the exterior siding, stucco or brick on your home. You will be amazed how much dirt will pour off a home that has not been cleaned in a long time. Hiring a power washer should be relatively inexpensive and in most cases the washing can be completed in a few hours.
Last but not least, you will want to post your open house signs at all major intersections within a one mile radius of your home. The goal is to create “drive bys” from interested individuals who want to stop and take a look at your home. Be sure and print up a color flyer with photos of your home’s strongest qualities. You can purchase a plastic, weather proof holder for your flyers and stick it in the ground near your “for sale” sign. By doing all of the above, you will be guaranteed to increase the number of buyers who take the time to look at your home.

Aaron and his crew did a great job. Thank you,
Thanks for your efforts and getting us moved out of our apartment. The team out there worked super hard to get our stuff moved safely and as quick as possible to minimize cost to the customer. Definitely appreciate it.
As you stated, your men were wonderful, hard working young men, whom I easily trusted. They worked in a timely manner, trying to save time where they could by working diligently. I will highly recommend your company to anyone.
Thank you
The guys did a super job! I’ll definitely pass on my recommendation to anyone I know.
Thx!
I just want to say thank you! Your guys are awesome! I’ve had this crew on one of our previous moves and they are great. They’re careful and respectful. Honestly, I hope this is my last move for a long time, but if we move again you are my go to guys.
Blessings
I wanted to reach out and thank you and your crew for the help and work they did in my move. Your guys were professional and very positive throughout the whole move. They really put me at ease and what I thought would be very frustrating day was a good experience. They were very careful and treated my stuff with great care. When they arrived I felt we were maybe not as packed and organized as we should have been but they helped get it together and packed on the truck. I was so glad it went so smooth. Please thank the crew and please use us as a reference as we are a happy customer. My daughter had used you and we were glad she gave us your number.
Anthony,

Anthony,
I wanted to take the time to let you know that your men today who moved my wife from Weatherford to Ft. Worth were the BEST MOVERS I have ever had in my 55 years of life. They were genuinely nice, polite, fun, and did an incredible job moving all of my stuff on a very humid day! You have 3 great workers and I would heartily recommend your company to anyone!
Thank you!
Things went great this weekend with Marcelo, Victor and Rick. Got everything done in a timely manner.
We hired fireman movers to help us move into our new home. They showed up and were very professional as well as courteous to moving items that were very important to us. In the future I will defnitely be using these guys again and I recomend them to all of our friends who are looking for an upstanding approach on moving.
