Today, our vendor Kichler Lighting<\/a> is sharing a few lighting tips to help sell your home!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"GuestIf you\u2019re looking to move into a Richmond American Home but need to sell your current home first, then now is the time to get started. Research<\/a>*<\/sup> shows that these warmer months of spring and summer are the best time to sell your current home quickly and maximize return. With time at home and the kids all on summer break, it is also the perfect time to make some changes to enhance your curb appeal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To create a memorable first impression with buyers who either drive by or house-hunt online,\u00a0follow these tips before placing that \u201cfor sale\u201d sign in your yard.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wash and repair the exterior<\/strong>
    \nIf your home\u2019s exterior has accumulated dirt and grime, wash the windows and power wash siding, too. Remove debris from the roof. Repair cracked or uneven pavement. Liven up your landscaping, trim bushes and weed your yard. Don\u2019t forget to mow and edge to show off a manicured lawn that buyers will love.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Make a statement with the front door<\/strong>
      \nThe front door is one of the first things potential buyers will see. So, try painting or staining your front door and trim. Add in some accessories to make your front porch pop like a few potted plants and a statement piece, such as Kichler Lighting\u2019s\u00a0      Hatteras Bay Wall Light<\/a>. It\u2019s a good pick for both ambiance and safety with its classic industrial look and clear Fresnel lens.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Repaint the garage door. And more…<\/strong>
        \nDriveways and garage doors are two big items that can help your home make a statement. If your driveway has any spots or stains, remember to power wash them away. And if your garage door is faded, update it with a new coat of paint. Try adding or replacing the decorative lighting around the garage door with fixtures that deliver a bright, yet soft glow, like this fixture from Kichler\u2019s         Toman Collection<\/a>. The elongated nature of the fixture delivers ample light, while the frosted glass minimizes glare for those pulling up to the garage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Observe the path from the curb to the entryway. Even at night!<\/strong>
          \nTake a moment to make sure your house numbers are clearly visible from the street to help potential buyers easily find your home. Also, don\u2019t forget to clean up your mailbox, gutters and fence. Consider the view at night as buyers often check out potential neighborhoods to see how well-lit homes are and if they\u2019d feel safe living there. To help alleviate any concerns (and deliver some serious nighttime wow), install outdoor lighting that illuminates both your home and yard. Walking paths, porches, entryways, and entertainment areas are always the best candidates for illumination.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          To sell your current home for top dollar so you can move into your dream Richmond American home, your current home must put its best foot forward\u2014both inside and out.<\/p>\n

          Ready to get started?<\/strong><\/p>\n
