Curb Appeal Tips To Help Your Home Sell Faster

Curb appeal is the attractiveness of your home when viewed from the street, and it’s the first thing a potential buyer will notice.

This takes all exterior features into consideration, including landscaping, the garage door, outdoor lighting, paint, front porch, outdoor furniture, and so on.

Curb appeal sets the initial tone for what buyers will think of your home, so it’s important to make a good first impression!

Here are some tips to improve your home’s curb appeal during showings:

➡️ Landscaping
A freshly manicured yard gives the indication of a well-cared for property! Cut the grass, trim any bushes or hedges, and make any vegetation look neat and tidy before viewings.

➡️ Touch up paint
Worn down, peeling paint on the exterior does NOT help make a good first impression. If the paint on the exterior of your home is looking faded or old, be sure to touch it up before showings.

➡️ Roof maintenance
An old roof with missing or broken shingles will turn potential buyers away. Replace any broken roof shingles-- these small repairs make a big aesthetic difference!

➡️ Fresh paint on the door
A bright, freshly painted front door makes a warm, welcoming impression on potential buyers! Make your front door pop with a fresh coat of paint before showings.

➡️ Colorful planters or flowers near the entrance
Flowers add a fresh splash of color to your home. Add some colorful planters near the entrance of your home to liven up the outdoor space!

➡️ Pressure wash the exterior
A sparkling clean exterior gives potential buyers the excellent first impression you’re after! Make sure to pressure wash your home before showings so that it’s clean and shining when potential buyers come to view it.
