Be the Best on the Block with Your Curb Appeal

 

Buyers are looking on-line for homes for sale, and the curb appeal has to be attractive.     When homeowners have made the decision to put their home on the market, it is time to clean up the yard, front porch and prepare the front door.

 

Curb appeal

 

Sellers want to make a first impression and should give the potential buyers a warm welcome, including the UPS delivery person.    To do this, it doesn't have to cost a small fortune.    Here are a few things you can do to make that first impression on a budget ---

 

Curb appeal

 

  • Clear the flower beds of fall leaves
  • Replace bark or add rocks where needed
  • Trim bushes of dead branches
  • Keep the grass fertilized, mowed and edged
  • Sidewalks to the front door need to be free of foliage, keep a three foot wide path
  • The porch needs to be free of cob webs
  • Give the front door a fresh coat of paint - make it stand out (red glossy front door?)
  • Security door glass free of fingerprints
  • Clean the glass light on the front porch
  • Put some colorful potted plants on the front porch to make it look inviting
  • Replace door hardware
  • Be sure the doorbell is operational
  • Make your address easily visible from the street to showing agents and potential buyers
  • Welcome mat - for wet or muddy feet

 

Red front door

 

 

When Sellers have made the decision to list their home, it should be the prettiest house on the block.    Buyers drive through neighborhoods they prefer looking for a home for sale.    Make yours STAND OUT!

 

Show pride of ownership, and make it look inviting for buyers!

Great re-blog, Amanda. I'll slip over and tell Joan as well. There are few things that are more of a magnet or a turn-off than curb appeal.
