7 Curb Appeal Tricks to Boost Your Sale Price

Usually the very first impression would-be buyers have of a house, before they get inside, before they drive by and before they even read listing details is from one photo of the exterior. And if your agent is doing their job, this will be a professional high definition, wide angle photo showcasing every detail of the property. Not only will this first impression make or break whether buyers decide to find out more about the house, it sets the tone for how they're going to feel about it once they get there.

As sellers you want that initial peek of the house to draw people in and have them ready to write a competitive offer. The good news is that boosting curb appeal can be incredibly easy and inexpensive (think hundreds, not thousands) and will provide a huge return on investment. Here are our must-dos for seller clients:
​
  • Put a fresh coat of paint on the front door in a bright color that compliments the siding and landscaping.
  • Mow the lawn, mulch the beds and do a leaf clean-up if necessary.
  • Sealcoat the driveway. This is far less expensive than paving but will look great and prolong the life of the pavement.
  • Add some large flowering plants at the front entry.
  • Trim back trees and shrubs so the house is what stands out.
  • Decluttering isn't just for inside. Make sure toys, yard equipment, trash bins and other items are stored neatly in a garage or shed.
  • Make sure your house number is modern and easy to find.

These quick improvements will make your home stand out in pictures and in person, equating to a faster and higher priced sale.
