Why Curb Appeal Matters They say you can’t judge a book by its cover—but let’s be real: books with worn-out or torn covers tend to stay on the shelf longer. When you’re getting ready to sell your home, you focus on prepping and cleaning the inside to make it show-ready. But have you given thought to how your home looks from the outside? The exterior is the first impression buyers have when they pull up to your property or view your listing online. If the landscaping is overgrown or the paint is peeling, potential buyers might not even make it inside to see the great features you’ve worked so hard to maintain. So, what can you do to make sure your home stands out in a good way? The National Association of Realtors® suggests a few key steps to enhance your curb appeal:
• Clean exterior walls and windows • Apply a fresh coat of exterior paint • Keep the grass green and trimmed • Clean and repair the roof
