Selling Property
Improving Your First-Impression Appeal
If your home lacks immediate visual appeal, it's likely
to keep many prospective buyers from ever coming in
to look around. Yet with a little time and a little
money you can easily improve your home's exterior appeal
and increase buyer walk-throughs by:·
- Cutting, edging, and regularly watering the lawn;
- Trimming hedges, weeding lawns and flowerbeds, and
pruning trees regularly;
- Repairing any cracks in the foundation, steps, paths,
walls and patios;
- Repairing peeling paint on doors and windows;
- Cleaning and aligning gutters;
- Inspecting and cleaning the chimney;
- Repairing and replacing loose or damaged roof tiles;
- In winter, keeping paths neatly cleared of snow
and ice;
- In summer, placing some hanging baskets or plant
pots by the front door;
- Keeping your garage door closed;
- Applying a fresh coat of paint to the front door.
