It’s time to sell your home and you want to make the best impression on potential buyers; you’d like them to see what could be their own future home at its best! And one of the easiest ways to do so is present the home with clean windows.
Windows are one of the first things a person will see when approaching a house. Like eyes are likened as windows to the soul, windows can be seen as the eyes of your home. Clean, clear
windows demonstrate a healthy home, well-tended and taken care of. Cobwebs and dirt, torn screens and old bars: these can be seen as foreboding and reduce the warm, cozy feel you may be trying to otherwise convey.
On the more pragmatic side of things, dirty windows may give potential buyers reason to step back simply due to the potential maintenance it presents. Even if it’s just a little scuff or a rusty screen, money-minded buyers will calculate cleaning and repair as an additional expense on top of the existing price they’d pay for the home. And as windows can be the first impression of the home, they may convince buyers that the home requires more work than it would in actuality need.
Clean windows aren’t just for the buyers: the care given to them reflects on the neighborhood as well. More clean homes on the block improves the impression other homes may present, and can prompt others to follow your lead. After all, the better your home sells for, the higher value their homes become based on comps. It’s in everyone’s best interest that your home sell for the best price possible, and clean windows can be that extra push to ensure that indeed happens!
