Power washers are easily rented from hardware stores. • Adding some stone or stone veneer to the face of the home is an inexpensive way to instantly update your home, if it complements the design. • Add a “smart” doorbell.

Curb appeal is one of the most essential elements in selling your home quickly and successfully. You can create interest in your home before buyers even step out of the car, even if they didn’t think they were looking for a home like yours. If you put money into cleaning up the outside of your home, buyers will be far more likely to want to see the inside. Your home’s curb appeal draws buyers in, maintains their interest, and sets your home apart from the competition. Remember that unless you are willing to lower your home’s price well below market value, prospective home buyers typically won’t want to take on a major renovation project.
