Easy Ways to Boost Your Curb Appeal and Beat the Competition

Easy Ways to Boost Your Curb Appeal and Beat the Competition

Curb appeal is undoubtedly one of the most important aspects of selling your home as it provides potential buyers with a first impression of the property before they’ve even walked through the front door. While the market is still favoring sellers, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t still competition when it comes time to sell, and thus, ensuring that your curb appeal is up to par is key in elevating the first impression your home provides. In addition to the common curb appeal boosts such as mowing the lawn, planting seasonal color, or adding exterior lighting, there are a few easy things you can do to help your home stand out among the rest.

Windows

Easy Ways to Boost Your Curb Appeal and Beat the CompetitionOne of the easiest ways for your house to look clean and tidy both inside and out is to simply wash the windows. Give all your windows a good cleaning both inside and out, this allows for a fresh, clean and crisp look.

Pressure Wash

Is the exterior of your home showing its age? Maybe moss is starting to grow in shaded areas? Give the exterior of your home a quick cleaning with a pressure washer (make sure the exterior of your home can handle the settings) and your home will look as if it’s just been painted without the expensive price tag. 

Mailbox 

A common feature that is often overlooked is your mailbox. Whether it’s sun faded, rusted, or simply outdated, when it comes time to sell your home, updating your mailbox is a simple way to help boost your curb appeal. 

Hardware

Update your hardware, anything that can be easily replaced such as house numbers, deadbolts, doorknobs, etc. should all be replaced with matching hardware to give the home a more cohesive look. 

Driveway/Walkway

Not only should your driveway and walkways be clear or debris, but if time allows, try to give them a good cleaning with a pressure washer to help remove any stains that may be present. 

Roof & Gutters

Make sure the roof and gutters are free of any and all debris including moss. With roofing being one of the larger ticket items for repair and replacement, you want your roof to look it’s best so ensuring it is clean is vital in a great first impression.

“Life will lead you to where you belong. Five years ago life led me to meeting Karen Baker at an Open House. Our relationship continues as Karen and her husband Frank have been outstanding not only in helping my husband and I find the right retirement relocation home, but we have watched their commitment in helping many others find their homes. She and Frank treat every client as if they are the only ones that exist. They provide thorough research of areas and homes of interest and present you with the options. They are not your typical hard sell, must-buy-now realtors. They are here to help you find your next home?. You won’t go wrong with the Bakers!

“The Bakers treated us like family during our whirlwind weekend of looking at houses. Prior to our on-site visit to Sunset Beach they created a portal and populated it with properties that met our ever-evolving criteria. By time we arrived we had a good feel for what we could afford and what was available that met our criteria. The Bakers, especially Karen, were able to make sense of what we thought we were looking for and eventually matched us with a house that we ended up purchasing — Karen called it the “This is it” house and she was right. We are loving our 2nd home and appreciate how painless Karen and Frank made the process. All the paperwork was done seamlessly and quickly and the closing went off without a hitch. The Bakers do not believe in the hard sell — they gave us the knowledge we needed and the guidance we needed to make our dream a reality.”

Amy and I have bought and sold four properties in the past twelve years. Both of you are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Amy and I both felt we could trust you to look out for our interest. The level of service you provided was outstanding, from taking the trash out, helping the buyer with inspecting the irrigation system, dealing with our tenants, always being there if we needed to ask a question, providing constant updates on the market and always keeping us informed on the sale of our house. I think your next venture should be training other realtors, because both of you have mastered the art of providing excellent service. I will be sure to recommend the Frank and Karen team to anybody looking for a trust worthy, knowledgeable and top performing realtor. It was a pleasure working with both of you.”
