Summer means the temperatures are rising and families that are normally going in different directions because of school are together. If you have been thinking about selling your home, the warmer temperatures signal the best time to list it. Attract more potential buyers with these simple summertime real estate tips. 

• Create a marketing campaign for your home! Share your agent's listing for it on your social media sites and alert friends who are in the market for a new home. Talk to your agent about fliers or other forms of advertising. See if you can get drone pictures of your home to entice potential buyers online.
• Welcome visitors to your open house with a variety of cool treats and cold drinks. You want to keep them comfortable and happy while they decide.
• Stage the home so it looks and feels as airy as possible. Choose lighter or sheer fabrics for curtains so the home is full of natural light. 
• Make sure the air conditioner is on!
• If you have a pool prepare and open it so that potential buyers can see it is in good working order.
• Make the outdoors scream welcome home! Keep the lawn mowed and green. Update or clean up the patio furniture. Fix any potential safety issues with boards or patio bricks. No one wants to worry about getting a sliver or stubbing their toe.
• Add some security lighting to the home to provide a sense of safety.
• If the showing is later at night make sure that you light citronella candles to keep the outdoor areas comfortable and bug-free.
