Selling a home is a major decision in every residential property owner's life. No matter what the proprietor's reasons for selling the property are, good business sense dictates that getting the best value out of so significant an investment is a must. However, this poses a significant challenge for many residential property owners because after spending years living in a property, the property ages significantly as well. This can have a rather detrimental impact on the value of the property in the eyes of whoever comes to check it out.

However, there are some pointers which residential property owners should definitely keep in mind if they are interested in getting the best value they can for their property. The first of these is to increase the visual appeal of the exterior of the house. This is an area which many residential property owners neglect, but it still plays a big role in influencing the purchase decision which is to be made.

Having a house which is surrounded by an attractive yard and vegetation seems much more appealing than a house surrounded by an overgrowth of weeds or a completely barren yard. Apart from defining and upgrading the property's landscape, a well maintained lawn and a clean front yard will make a great impression on anyone visiting the property. Making sure that the house looks attractive from the outside will encourage more buyers to come and check out the property.

If the exterior paint job is coming apart by the way of flakes or damp spots, then it can make the house look decrepit and lower its value in a buyer's eye. Getting a good paint job using reliable exterior paints can give your home a completely fresh look. Painting other objects, like window frames, trim, siding and shutters also brightens up the house. The roof is also an often neglected component of a house's aesthetic appeal. Re-shingle the roof, if need be, replace missing tiles and other components.

Coming to the house itself, the first thing to do is to make sure all the exterior components are functional. These components include windows, doors, locks, latches, deadbolts, chains, window panes, screens, sliders and thresholds. Making sure that these components are replaced / repaired in time is the responsibility of the residential property owner. Taking care of fixing the utilities, like plumbing, gas and electricity, is also very important.

Once all these aspects of the property are taken care of, residential property owners will automatically notice increased buyer interest, which is the perfect gauge to measure the increase in the value of their property. These pointers may require a minor investment, but it shall be easily covered by the increase in the property's final value.
