5 cost-effective ways to increase curb appeal

Focusing on your home’s curb appeal, or its exterior aesthetic, can also help to attract buyers. Strong curb appeal makes an impression on buyers arriving for a showing, as well as those browsing online. I always tell my sellers it really is all about making the first impression a lasting one. Here are 5 tips for you to consider:

1. Spruce up the yard

2. Pressure wash the exterior

3. Paint the front door

4. Make the entryway shine

5. Update your fixtures.

I love real estate there is no greater feeling than seeing my customer's happy!!!

Pat, great post for homeowners preparing their home for the market.   I always tell my sellers, your home should look the BEST on the block when you are listed.

Good tips, Pat. It's amazing what pressure cleaning the driveway and walk can do. this is the first thing a buyer will see, so your exterior needs to look appealing to the buyer.

Pat, this is a great post! After this list I would add plants or a wreath to the front door/entry.

These are 5 good tips for homeowners to review and "freshen up" when putting their home on the market. I've seen dingy, dirty doors and front steps. A good pressure washing will take care of that in an afternoon.
