Do you have your home or property on the market? Cassidy Paving understands how hard it is to sell, but there are ways to make your exterior standout so that your home sells faster. Often overlooked, but your driveway and asphalt around your home can help or hinder your curb appeal and make or break a potential sale. Even though we don’t want it to be true, first impressions can be everything when it comes to a potential buyer. Don’t let dilapidated asphalt write the narrative of what your property has to offer. Let the potential buyer fall in love with your beautiful exterior and want to see more of what the home has to offer. Here’s how we can help with getting those offers on your property.
Sealcoating
One of the things that matter most when you put your property on the market is that it has a great deal of curb appeal. The beautiful blacktop that people are so accustomed to seeing can be easily achieved with a new sealcoat. If it has been a few years since your last driveway coating, it is time to call in a professional. According to research done by HomeLight, 94% of real estate agents say buyers will pay more for a house with great curb appeal. Don’t shortchange yourself when it comes to small changes that will make a big impact on a buyer. Think of your curb appeal and all that it can do for you.
Fixing Cracks and Holes
Maybe you’ve noticed a little more damage than what a sealcoat can remedy. This is not rare for the New England area. The harsh winters and warm summers mean that your asphalt pavement is consistently taking a beating. There are bound to be potholes, cracks, and standing water on driveways that haven’t been properly maintained. Potential buyers might take one look at the disrepair of your driveway and conclude the home is not for them before giving it a chance. You don’t want that to cost you an offer. The Cassidy Paving team can come out and patch any holes and fix drainage issues before that “for sale” sign goes up. We can work together to come up with the best plan for your needs and budget.
Complete Replacement
Sometimes asphalt pavement is beyond repair. Especially if it has been over 25 years since your last new asphalt application, we should discuss the options for a total replacement. The investment in this is small compared to the return. Because the curb appeal greatly relies on the condition of the home’s driveway, you will want to make sure that buyers have something beautiful to look at when they drive by. We know that you may not want to make an investment for a total replacement when you’re looking to sell, but this is an amazing return on investment that cannot be duplicated with any other upgrades to your property.
