Improve Curb Appeal on a Budget

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.  According to the National Association of Realtors, 63 percent of home buyers will drop by after they see a home the like online. What they see online is the home's exterior, including entry, yard and driveway.  Here are some simple ways to spruce up your curb appeal without breaking the bank.

Curb Appeal Starts Online

Quality photos are crucial to getting home buyers to the front door.  Real estate related searches on Google have grown 253% over the past 4 years.  Those searches make up 90% of home buyers who searched online during their home buying process.

Rely on Your Agent for a Second Opinion

Homeowners often get used to certain defects like chipped paint on the front door, cobwebs, cracked or stained steps.  Real Estate Agents know what buyers want to see.  They can help prioritize what needs to be fixed and cleaned up

Clean Up

Pressure-washing siding, decks, walkways, and driveways is a cost-efficient way to increase your home's curb appeal.

Feature Colorful Landscape

Clean up planters, window boxes and flower beds with colorful flowers for the season.  Make sure that you aren’t portraying an upkeep nightmare for future homeowners

Let in the Light

Homes that are brighter inside sell faster.  Clean windows inside and out, open all curtains and shades.   

Outdoor Lighting

Highlight your homes best features with lighting.  Solar lights are inexpensive and easy to install. 

Finishing touches

Paint is only about $25 per gallon, and painting the front door, trim and shutters is a great way to polish the look of your home. Other inexpensive fix-ups: a new mailbox, a new porch light fixture, shiny new house numbers and a cheery new welcome mat.
