The Importance of Curb Appeal

Calling all Sellers!

Do not underestimate the importance of good curb appeal - it takes just 7 seconds for a potential buyer to form an opinion.

Here are some tips:

1. Roof and Chimney: Shingles should be intact with none missing and mortar between bricks should be secure.
2. Gutters: Repair and clean gutters. Nothing says poor maintenance than choked gutters.
3. Invest in some cool house numbers: Switch out those tired digits and give your address a makeover.
4. Windows and Trim: Paint windows and trim, replace broken glass panes, and clean all windows inside and out.
5. Wash your house's face: Washing a house can add $10,000 - $15,000 to the sale price.
6. Landscaping: A well-designed landscape can add 7 - 14% to your home's value.
7. Upgrade the Front Door and increase the resale value.
8. Upgrade the Mailbox: Wobbly dented mailboxes are a no-no. You can get a good-looking durable free-standing mailbox for $50!
9. Replace Light Fixtures: Highlight your landscape and home with strategically placed lights.
