Posted at 10:04 PM, Jan. 20, 2007
A home that is visually appealing and in good condition could possibly attract potential buyers that are driving down the street. Take the drive yourself and look at your home objectively and critically through a potential buyer's eyes. Take notes of what you see. Would your home attract your attention, if not, here are a few tips to give your home curb appeal.- Are the lawn, trees and shrubs properly mowed, trimmed, and well-maintained?
- Are garbage, debris and children's toys stored out of sight?
- Are the gutters, windows and doorknobs clean and welcoming?
- Do the window casings, shutters, siding or doors need painting or washing?
- Are lawn mowers, garden tools and hoses properly stored?
- Is the walkway to the front door swept with a nice welcome mat in place?
Giving a home curb appeal is the first step in getting your home ready for sale.
