Spiffing up the outside of your Bennington, Vermont real estate before listing it with Troy Richardson will certainly help you get a fair price for your home, and a fresh coat of paint and a well-groomed lawn is a beginning. But some easy repairs can make a big difference. Loose steps, rusted or falling gutters and rotted wood trim are easy fixes but can turn off a buyer. Check out the roof – look for missing shingles or flashing that can be replaced and may prevent roof leaks.

Inside, have your heating and cooling systems inspected and serviced – that sticker of approval means a lot to a new home buyer. Fix that dripping faucet and replace missing or cracked switchplate covers – doing so shows potential buyers that you have kept your real estate in good condition.

Consider having a home inspection done before listing to ensure you have done the best you can to ready your Bennington area home for sale. Go to www.ashi.org to find inspectors in the Bennington, Vermont area, or call Troy Richardson to talk about listing your home.
