As a realtor in Hernando County (Spring Hill, Brooksville and Weeki Wachee), Florida, I know that a buyer's first impression does make a difference in their decision to purchase your home or not. There are some tips that are not that costly and which will make a difference in the eyes of the buyer.

Believe it or not, the front door is important. If your door is in decent condition and you don't want to replace it, make sure it is "clean and shiny". Cleaniness in a home, and less clutter, is one of the most important items. If you have extra money, purchase a pretty front door - remember "first impressions".

If you can afford new tile, you can buy inexpensive tile and it will make a big difference. Put a new backsplash on the kitchen. Also, you can upgrade your bathroom with inexpensive tile.

If you have a kitchen that does not have a breakfast bar but there is a wal separating the kitchen from the family room, you can probably make a cut out and put in a breakfast bar with stools. Buyers like another area for eating and breakfast bars for families with children are very popular.

You don't have to put in a granite kitchen countertop, you can buy granite tiles instead of the one piece, which is much cheaper.

In the bathroom, revamp it with a new medicine cabinet or vanity.

There are more tips coming in the future so keep reading our blog.

We will always keep you posted.
