ShareCurb appeal is a home’s first impression, and the first chance to impress potential buyers. Whether buyers are amazed by a beautiful and immaculate yard or turned off by dirty exterior walls and an overgrown lawn can meaningfully affect the speed and price at which a home sells. Improving a home’s curb appeal can be as simple as repainting a front door and getting rid of weeds in the front yard, or as involved as creating an outdoor lighting design and replacing all of a home’s windows. Before placing a home on the market, it is important to make sure that the home is prepared - inside and out - so it sells quickly and for top dollar.
