Katie O’Leary, a Realtor with Gay Tyler Gallagher Real Estate in Groton Long Point, offers advice to sellers about why it’s important the outside of a home appeals to buyers as much as the interiors:

“As the saying goes, you have one chance to make a first impression! Your yard is that first impression a potential buyer sees. A beautifully landscaped yard invites a buyer to want to see more. In a way, your yard opens the door to your home and confirms that the inside is as well-kept as the outside. Pride of ownership shines bright! A home that has been well cared for, updated inside and out, will be appealing and not seen as a fixer upper. The seller will see this reflected in offers they receive. Take the time to make that first impression a great one!”
