Remember that a first impression is everything. Your home’s curb appeal is the key to acquiring the best possible price.

Things to do to enhance your curb appeal:

The Front Yard

Your lawn should be evenly cut, freshly edged, and free of yellow    spots. Re-sod these areas if necessary. Rake up loose leaves and    grass cuttings.
In the summer, it’s nice to have a pot of fresh flowers near the    front entrance.
Replace any dead shrubs and remove dead trees and branches.

Repaint the front and back doors if necessary.
Replace any torn screens.
Wash all windows.
Pressure wash the exterior.
Ask your Realtor® if repainting is necessary.
Choose a neutral color that fits well in your neighborhood. (Be    sure to get approval from your home owner’s association first.)
Discuss replacing or repairing concrete with your Realtor®.    Especially if it is a tripping hazard.

The Back Yard

Your lawn should be evenly cut, freshly edged, and free of yellow    spots. Re-sod these areas if necessary. Rake up loose leaves and    grass cuttings.
Clear your yard of clutter (toys, lawn tools, etc.)
If your backyard is small remove whatever you can to make it    appear more spacious. (Metal swing set, trampoline, etc.)
Replace any dead shrubs and remove dead trees and branches.
