Make a Grand Entrance
If you're selling your house, you've probably heard all about curb appeal. Once that first impression passes the test, the next thing that meets the eyes of potential buyers is the entryway -- so make it look good. The entrance serves as the transition from outdoors to indoors and can leave an indelible impression in the mind of a potential buyer. Don't underestimate the importance of the entrance to your home. It helps define the quality of your property when people enter. If your entrance exudes richness, buyers will think of your home as a rich property and be prepared to make offers accordingly. The opposite holds true as well. If the entrance is shabby, then no matter how well appointed the rest of the home, 'shabby' is what will be imprinted on the buyer's mind. Having flooring in the entryway that varies from the rest of the house is one way to set off the entrance. I suggest tile flooring, whether it's ceramic, marble, granite, or synthetic. In
