Curb Appeal
Q: How do I add curb appeal to my home?
Full Question
What is the number one thing you would recommend I do to add curb appeal to my home?
Answer
First of all, this is a great question! How you present your home from the outside will not only attract buyers, but also provide them with that first and lasting impression. My first suggestion would be to stand in front of your house, see what the most tired looking feature is and upgrade that. Remember, what you notice is what the buyer will notice! This may mean touching up small things such as chipped paint and unsealed windows, right down to paving your cracked and lumpy driveway. If it looks like you have taken care of the outside, the buyer will trust you have taken care of the inside. Now, in addition to the general upkeep, adding an element of privacy to the front of your home is also a great way to add curb appeal. Some of the nicest homes you will see peek discretely from behind beautiful mature trees, shrubs or fencing with an inviting walkway which leads to the entrance. This gives an overall cozy and intimate feeling to any
property.
