Give Your Curb Appeal a Boost Before You Sell

Good Landscaping, Good First Impression

78% of real estate agents say poor landscaping affects property values. As a seller, that means your yard could impact your bottom line. As realtor.com says:

“First impressions matter when you’re getting ready to sell a house. Your home’s curb appeal can help you earn top dollar – or it can send buyers running for the hills.”

Small Updates Can Go a Long Way

To improve your home’s first impression for potential buyers, focus on these things:

1. Trim and shape any hedges and/or trees
   
   
2. Keep the lawn mowed and edged
   
   
3. Put down new mulch
   
   
4. Remove any dead branches
   
   
5. Power wash, stain, or paint the deck

Updates Beyond Landscaping

A few more improvements you can do that are beyond landscaping that can also go a long way are:

1. Update/refresh the paint on your front door
   
   
2. Add a fresh coat of paint to trim
   
   
3. Update your house numbers
   
   
4. Check window screens and replace as necessary
   
   
5. Power wash front porch, walkways, and driveway
