The Importance of Curb Appeal

If you are considering selling your home there is nothing like the present to start cleaning up around the exterior of your property. First impressions are very important; home buyers decide the moment they drive up to your home if they want to go in and if they would want to consider purchasing it.

*By spending about $400 - $500 on freshening it up you could boost your home's value by $1600 - $1800! That's a minimum of $1,100 increase!

Here are a few things to consider:

• Remove weeds and trim overgrown plants
• Keep the lawn mowed and edged, fill in empty spots with sod
• Plant some fresh flowers and put potted plants on the porch
• If you have an extended porch add a chair to two with a small outdoor table
• If driveway and walkway have stains, power-wash
• Power-wash, clean or put a fresh coat of paint on exterior walls
