Does Curb Appeal Really Work?

Curb appeal really starts at the entrance of your neighborhood.  If you have a neighborhood association be sure the entrance to your neighborhood is well kept…that’s what you pay your association dues for isn’t it? Well, it’s one of the things most of the time is to have the common areas taken care of.

 As for your home? Of course it is important.  If you are selling your home then what is the very first thing that someone sees when they decide to schedule a showing – THE FRONT PICTURE OF YOUR HOME! You must keep the yard cut and weeded, bushes trimmed, weeds pulled, paint if necessary – in short make your home look like it belongs in a magazine. If your home doesn’t look like that then spend some time on your home…it will pay dividends and it doesn’t cost you much if anything at all.

 Pictures are stagnant so just because you did the things to make your home look nice for a still photo doesn’t mean you are off the hook afterwards. It is imperative you keep your home in the same condition of the photo. It sets the mood for the potential buyer when they pull up to your home.  First impressions are everything in any relationship and the relationship that your home must provide is one of trust. Without the trust that the rest of the home is in as good or better condition than the outside of the home is priceless! Dress your home for success like you would dress yourself for a job interview.  Certainly if you dress nice and are well groomed the potential employer has a great 1st impression of you and that is the same impression you are trying to put on a potential Buyer.
