“Curb Appeal” refers to the impression that your home gives when someone drives or walks by. If potential buyers are turned off by the exterior of your home, they may never come inside to see the beauty within. Before you go to work ‘fixing’ your curb appeal,you should evaluate it. Stand by the street (not in the street) and look at your home. What stands out? Are your gutters overflowing or hanging off? Do you need to paint? Are you missing shutters, shingles or pieces of siding? Is your home dirty? Do you still have that bush that died two years ago in front of your home? Attracting the right buyer starts with a good first impression and that impression starts the first time they drive by. So take advantage of nice days by cleaning up the outside of your home.
