Preparing Your Dallas Home For Sale - Curb Appeal

Preparing Your Home For Sale: The Exterior  

Never underestimate the importance of curb appeal. An attractive, well-maintained home will generally sell faster and for a higher price than a similar home that’s outdated.

Let’s look at your home’s exterior objectively and see what repairs and updates it needs to sell for top dollar.

• Keep the lawn mowed and shrubs trimmed.
• Remove dead tree limbs and other yard debris.
• Plant fresh shrubs and flowers.
• Arrange outdoor items neatly and put away lawn equipment.
• Check siding, trim and doors – especially the front door – for dirt and peeling paint.
• Check your fence.
• Check loose or damaged roof shingles or flashing.
• Clean and repair broken windows or screens.
• Clean gutters and downspouts.
• Wash the driveway and sidewalk.
• Clean and neatly arrange the garage or shed.
• Make sure the gas grill is clean.
• Make sure the entry light and doorbell work.

If you find that a repair is needed on anything listed, fix the entire defect so it will not cause a distraction.
