Homeowners often forget about their roof’s, but rest assured that it’s in the forefront of buyer’s minds. Keep yours in tip-top shape for an extra boost of appeal.

Finally, do a walk-through from the sidewalk to the backyard and try to see your home in the eyes of a buyer. What are they looking for?
