Curb Appeal – Very Important Part of Home Staging

Posted By Lydia

Curb appeal is very important when your house is up for sale.
If a potential buyer is driving buy, you want the house to look
its best to entice the potential buyer to want to come in and
have a look.

April is too early for planting, but not too early for yard work.
-  Put a nice wreath on the front door.
-  Rack the grass, not only will it look better, but it will
            loosen the soil for the new grass.
-  Is it time for fertilizer
-  Clean out the flower beds.
-  Remove all the dead twigs, broken branches, garbage
            and dried leaves left from the fall.
-  Clean out the window wells.
-  Give the light fixtures a good washing.
-  Sweep the drive and the walkways.
-  Remove any garbage or debris from the road in front
            of your house.
-  This is a good time of the year to borrow or rent a
            power washer for a few hours.  Wash the drive,
            the sidewalks, the deck, the siding, fascia, soffit,
            eaves and anything else that needs a good cleaning.

When the potential buyer drives buy your house, you want them
to think, that if the outside looks this good, they will want to see
the inside.

Curb appeal is definitely a part of Home Staging.
