7 Quick Steps to Give Your Home More Curb Appeal

So easy to make a difference.  Thanks!

Curb appeal starts the love affair with a home!     Just a great start!

Curb appeal is the same as a first impression and you want it to be a positively MEMORABLE one!  Great list--although I have to say I am not a fan of solar lights on sidewalks--I prefer uplighting of the trees but, then again, most buyers are shopping during the daylight hours anyway, right?!

Gabe - Awhile back I went on a listing appointment, for a couple who were divorcing.  The front of the home had been neglected, with dry and tall grass, and debris on the front porch, and an unsightly appearing front door!  While walking through the house, I made notes about little cosmetic things that would spruce the house up.  I focused most on the front of the house (curb appeal).  I gave the list to the sellers, and asked how long it would take them to accomplish the items on the list.  When they responded, "One week," I took them at their word, but worried they may not be able to get that yard cleaned up so rapidly.

True to their word, they hauled out the old dry landscaping, and put down new sod and plants.  They cleaned the front porch, and stripped and painted the front door.  What a difference that week made.  The house was sold within 4 days.

Hi Gabe,

That is a good start, of course I can think of lots of other suggestions for curb appeal too.  But it is small things that can make a big difference.
