Curb appeal is key and could make a difference whether people stop and take a flyer, or just drive by. Here are a few tips to increase the curb appeal of your home. Staging your home is important. Many buyers will stay in your home longer if it's stage appropriately. We have compiled some ideas to present your home in the most effective manner.

  • Trim bushes so they don't block windows or architectural details.
  • Mow your lawn and turn on the sprinklers for 30 minutes before showing to make the lawn sparkle.
  • Put a pot of bright flowers (or a small evergreen in winter) on your porch.
  • Intall new doorknobs on your front door.
  • Repair any cracks in the driveway
  • Edge the grass around walkways and trees.
  • Keep your garden tools and hoses out of sight.
  • Clear toys from the lawn.
  • Buy a new mailbox.
  • Upgrade your outside lighting.
