Curb Appeal

 Curb appeal is your chance to make a first impression on potential buyers. Curb appeal  includes frontand back yard, sidewalks and drive way.

 Staging ensures that your photos look great online, indoors and out. Remember that 75% of prospective buyers will follow up their “Intermit drive-by” with an actual drive-by of your home before contacting your REALTOR®. When viewing your home they may spend some time observing the home.Here are some suggestions to entice buyers inside.

 

  • Ensure the lawn is well maintained, trimmed and weed free.
  • Trim hedges, large bushes or trees
  • Pressure wash windows and siding. Clean windows make a home sparkle
  • Sweep front steps, walkways and patios
  • Ensure light fixture is working
  • Front Door appeal, check for spider webs, loose door knob and cleanliness
  • Ensure everything is repair free
  • Add some potted plants for a welcoming look
