Curb Appeal

Curb Appeal

Its that time once again! Get those lawn mowers a moving. The exterior of your house is just as important as the interior when selling your home. Some of my clients have decided to bypass a house based on the outside appearance. If your not going to take the time to care for your house, people will not take the time to look at it. With the increased competition this summer make your home stand out!

I commonly suggest to have an outsider come to your house and give rational suggestions. A person who is not emotionally invested will give you the truth about what your home needs to sell.

Sellers to do list:

1. Paint the exterior of your house or fence if needed - a little paint goes a long way!

2. Trim the hedges, the overgrown grass and weed the garden.

3. Make a seating area in the back or front, sellers can visualize themselves in that seat.

4. Wash the windows and gutters.

5. Trim trees blocking the views.

6. Light pathways

7. Declutter and make sure kids toys and garden tools are put away.

8. Paint your front door a bright color.

A weekends worth of work can define your house and draw more potential buyers to your property.
