door into a wood grain look-alike.
If your door is severely damaged, have it fixed or replaced. As always, go with whichever costs less. You’ve addressed the living area inside your home. Your front entrance is inviting. Now is the time to take a critical look at your front yard. Curb appeal: Curb appeal (how your home looks from the road) is the most important image of all. You want to make an amazing first impression. A well-prepared house can even catch the eyes of buyers who never intended to visit your home. Buyers driving by who look at your home should immediately feel as though they want to go inside. This will not happen if you have poor landscaping, a dingy exterior, or an unkempt yard. Look around your yard and list everything that needs a little work. • Are your shrubs, trees, flower gardens, and walkways tidy? • Is there trash or just a general mess in your yard? • Does everything (front light, garage door, porch rails, etc.) function properly, and look its best? • Could outdoor features, such as patio furniture or the garage door, be updated with a quick coat of paint?
