For a successful home sale, you need to market it correctly. This includes staging your home to appeal to as many buyers as possible. One area that needs your attention the most when staging is the exterior of your home. Poor curb appeal might turn potential buyers away. If you increase your Westfield curb appeal, then you'll increase your appeal to Westfield buyers.
How to Increase Your Westfield Curb Appeal
Paint
Unless your home's exterior is completely rundown, you won't have to spend the time or money involved with painting the entire house. Instead, concentrate on the trim, shutters, front porch railing, and mailbox. A fresh coat in a color that coordinates with the main house color makes a world of difference in the appearance of your property. And this chore can be done in one weekend for a minuscule amount of money.
Front Porch
Next, increase your Westfield curb appeal by adding a cozy seating area on your front porch. With a large porch, a couple of rocking chairs, a loveseat, and a small table make buyers think about how much they would love to sit there night after night, enjoying their new neighborhood. For smaller areas, a simple bench will suffice. Add weather-resistant pillows and flowers in brightly colored vases for an even homier touch.
Landscaping
Sometimes, it's easy to forget trimming your hedges, even if you cut your lawn on a regular basis. With the cold winter weather we've been having, cutting down your overgrown shrubs may not have been high on your priority list. But, as the temperatures begin to rise, it's time to trim the bushes. You want buyers to see the view into and out of your home without impediment. And, it's a simple way to increase your Westfield curb appeal.
Clutter
Finally, clearing the clutter pertains to more than the interior of your home. Store all tools and toys out of sight to increase your Westfield curb appeal. Line your garbage cans and recycling containers neatly along the exterior garage wall, behind the fence. Hide air conditioners, compost bins, and pool pumps by placing some potted plants or planting shrubbery in front of them.
None of the items on this list take much time or money to accomplish. However, they offer huge returns on your Westfield curb appeal. When you're ready to put your home on the market, contact me.
