Optimizing Curb Appeal for the Summer
The curb appeal of your home is a buyers first impression of the house. It’s like the way you introduce yourself at the start of an interview. Positive curb appeal can increase interest in your property and show that it is well cared for.
Take Care of Your Lawn
Make sure that your lawn isn’t patchy and overgrown; a lawn that isn’t well cared for could signal to the prospective buyer that you don’t have enough time for basic maintenance.
Add Some Personality to your Entrance
- Put a beautifully designed seasonal wreath on your door.
- Put a little bistro set on your porch
Creating a warm and inviting entry way will give your prospective buyers a good feeling about the house.
Paint Your Door and Garage Door and Window Sills
Having a freshly painted entrance and garage door shows prospective buyers and visitors that your home is well maintained and cared for.
Put in a Garden
If you have a garden, make sure it is clear of weeds and filled with flowers. If needed, top up the mulch so that it is nice and fresh!
Check the Walkways & Stairs
You don’t want people tripping or losing their balance on uneven stairs or broken stones so make sure that your pathway to the door and backyard are swept and cleaned and in good repair.
