What is curb appeal and how important is it?
Drive down a street in your town you have never driven down before. As you are driving, look at the front of homes from the yard to the house and pick out 1 to 3 homes that look the best. You’ve just identified curb appeal and if those homes were for sale along with the homes next to them, you would look at those first. Now, go back to your home and look at the other homes on the block and in the neighborhood. Does your home have as much curb appeal as others nearby? Make sure your front landscaping is attractive and you may consider hiring a lawn and garden maintenance company to do a clean up prior to placing your home on the market. Also, you may want to hire the services of a pressure washing company to clean the front of your house as well as pressure wash and clean your driveway and front walks. Your curb appeal will increase and assist in selling your home quicker.
