2. Improve your property’s first impression by turning your focus to its
curb appeal. Curb appeal can skyrocket a home’s value and get buyers
bidding before they walk in the door.
Here are a few tips that are quick, simple and will get your a big return!

3. Mowing
A simple, well-cut lawn pays off. Even if
you just trim the bushes and mow the lawn,
buyers will be more impressed with the
overall property.

4. Windows
Spray down all of the windows facing the street
and make any necessary repairs. Ripped screens,
missing shutters, and dirty windows are all
projects that new homebuyers don’t want to take
on after they close.

5. House Numbers
No one will visit your open house if they can’t
find your open house. Are the numbers
prominent and easy to see from the road?
Another quick fix that will make the house
more memorable are unique numbers,
something that stands out from your
neighbors.

6. Doors
Doorways hold sentimental value. Give the front door a
fresh paint job. Spruce it up with a bright color that
invites buyers to come in and take a look around.
While you’re at it, take a look at the garage door. Many
homeowners enter their house through the garage, so
make it look inviting.
Experts say that a garage door accounts for 40 percent of
a home’s curb appeal. A quick wash or paint job will
make all the difference.

7. Exterior Decor
Buyers want to see themselves living in your home.
They want to see a Christmas tree lit up with
decorations or a front porch ready to hand out
Halloween candy. This is a great way to stage a
property and make a memorable first impression.
The front porch isn’t the hottest spot for entertaining,
but it can provide a nice space for a quiet evening
with a cup of tea. Stage the front porch to show buyers
just how relaxing life will be when they move in. A
nice porch swing or table and chairs will help give
your home personality.

8. Roof and Gutters
If buyers look up and see clogged gutters and a dirty
roof, they might walk back to their car. Buyers noticing
maintenance needs does not give the home that move-in
ready feel. Clean the gutters yourself or hire someone to
service the roof and top of the house.
A quick run with the pressure washer won’t take long, but
it will save buyers the stress of thinking about clogged
gutters when they look at your property.

9. Driveway
When buyers pull into your driveway, what
will they see? A dark house or an inviting
home? A few lights up the driveway can guide
buyers onto your property, while also making
it safe.
Another great tip is to ensure your drive is not
deteriorating. If so, patch and/or seal for a
clean and fresh look.

10. While these tips aren’t deep pocket fixes, they can make a big impact
on the overall impression buyers get when they first look at your
property. Take the time to invest in your home’s curb appeal, and
you’ll surely get that quick offer!
