cost investments like power washing the house and concrete, repainting trim, and adding landscaping give your house more curb appeal. Simple improvements like weeding, trimming, and window washing can improve the appearance of a home with little to no expense. Repairs and repainting are costlier, but the payoff is often reflected in the sale price. The goal here is to get more money for your home. Homebuyers generally aren't interested in a home that needs work unless you want to sell below market value. Look around your yard, and make a written list of everything that could be improved: • Shrubs trimmed, flower gardens tended, walkways neat, and beds weeded • No trash, trash cans, lawn clippings, branches, or general mess in the yard • All outside fixtures and components (door and yard lights, garage door, porch rails) are functioning properly and looking their best • Outdoor features, such as patio furniture or the deck, should be updated with staining or painting Preparing a home for sale takes hard work and attention to detail. To ensure a quick sale with significant profits, it's essential to make both major and minor improvements to the property's exterior. While the to-do list may be extended, updating the curb appeal can make all the difference. Remember, anyone can sell a house, but not everyone can do it quickly and for a reasonable price. Then, expect the prospective buyers who will be drawn to the inside of your home when they see how beautiful it is from your curb! 18
