Maximizing Curb Appeal
Before potential buyers even see what the home has to offer, they view its
exterior. As a result, an unkempt or unattractive view of the outside of the
home could potentially result in a missed opportunity. To show the house in its
best light, consider the following:
- Move all materials, including garbage cans and gardening supplies, from the
front yard and into a garage or shed
-
Mow the lawn and weed and maintain all planted areas
-
Replace any outdoor light bulbs that are not working
-
Sweep walkways and steps, and remove all small items from the porch or patio
-
Replace worn or badly stained door mats
-

Inside the HouseOnce a potential buyer enters the home, they need to determine if it will meet
their needs and expectations. Give them the best view of the home's interior by
following these steps:
- Remove the home of any clutter by limiting decorative objects and clearing all
unnecessary appliances from the kitchen countertops
-
Rearrange or remove furniture to highlight the space in a room
-
Review each room and clean or vacuum if necessary
