Seller Tip: Don’t Overlook the Garage


 
The garage is an essential part of your home's exterior, and one that many people forget to take into account when they prepare their home to go on the market.  The garage door is the single largest architectural component of most residential properties, so it isn't as if people simply aren't going to notice it.  
 
A wooden garage door, rather than a metal one (or facelift of similar quality), is one of the best face-lifts that you could give your home.  Not only does it distinguish your home from the others on the street, it also lets potential buyers know that attention to detail and high quality materials are par for the course with your home.   
There is an increase in perceived value of the home that is usually several times higher than the actual value of the garage door.  Of course, a great garage door doesn't keep you from having to clean out the inside of your garage – that part is still one of the less than pleasant chores that comes part and parcel with inviting people to tour your home in the hopes they will make an offer.
