5 Easy Tips for Instant Curb Appeal

Posted by on Jul 15, 2009 in Advice, Sell My House | 0 comments

To get an offer on your home you first have to get the buyers in your home. The Atlanta real estate market is competitive and the best way to attract buyers is with curb appeal. Here are some low-cost ideas for enhancing curb appeal.

  1. Trim the bushes – it’s always amazing to me how homeowners can let bushes grow above the windows.
  2. Pressure wash driveway, sidewalk and house. You want the front entrance to be spotless.
  3. Clean the gutters. There is nothing worse than a garden growing out of your gutters.
  4. Mow the lawn, rake leaves, edge sidewalks and kill any weeds.
  5. Get some flats of flowers from your local garden supply store and add some color to your entrance.

Try to look at your home with a fresh set of eyes, sometimes we can become accustomed to some glaring problems with our own homes. If a potential buyers sees weeds growing out of the gutters, paint peeling, and mildew on the siding; he or she will instinctively wonder what else hasn’t been maintained in the house.
