You have probably heard the term “First Impression”. Did you know how important first impressions can be? Within 15 seconds a buyer has already developed an opinion of your property. That is why establishing the right first impression is so critical to a successful sale.
Curb appeal starts from the street so make sure the street in front of your house is free of debris and the landscape looks healthy and well maintained. Neatly trimmed shrubs are essential. Sweep the sidewalk if needed and remove weeds between the cracks. A freshly painted fence gives a home a fresh and crisp look.
Like the sidewalk, the walkway should be clean and free of weeds. If sections are cracked consider having them repaired. If the driveway is stained or worn looking, consider resealing it with a good quality sealant.
A fresh coat of paint can go a long way in adding appeal and value to your property. If you cannot paint the entire house, consider the shutters and the front of the house.
