ADVICE: Preparing for curb appeal

By April 28, 2017June 5th, 2020No Comments

Did you know that most people make the decision on whether or not to take a closer look at a house by looking at the outside on the internet or driving by to decide if they want to look at the inside?  This is known as curb appeal and is one of the most overlooked things when preparing your house for sale. By spending a little money and putting in a little sweat equity you can ensure that people will want to take a closer look at your house.

These are just a few things you can do to improve the curb appeal of your home:

  • If needed paint the house, or spruce it up by painting the front door, shutters or porch
  • New hardware on your door or light fixtures
  • Clean up flower beds, remove weeds, plant new flowers
  • Install or remove bushes or trees that are overgrown
  • Install a new mailbox
  • Replace house numbers with new ones that make finding your house easy
  • Spruce up your yard, rake up the leaves, pick up trash and debris, trim bushes and shrubs

Remember what your mom always said, you only get one chance to make a first impression and doing a few of these simple things will make potential buyers want to see the rest of your house and potentially help you sell faster
