Sometimes people will drive by the home to see if it's even worth looking at the inside.

 

 Not investing enough time polishing up the exterior can have dire consequences on the prospects of selling your home!

 

 

 

Here are some quick tips that can help you avoid that:

1. Mow the lawn and trim the bushes - especially the ones that block your windows and diminish sunlight.

 

2. Purchase a new doormat.

3. Add a bright pot of flowers (or even a small evergreen in winter) on your front porch.

4. Replace any old, tarnished doorknobs on your doors and polish or replace your house numbers.

5. Power-wash your driveway, sidewalk, and the exterior siding of your home.

6. Edge the grass around walks and trees plus add fresh mulch to your planting beds.

7. Purchase a new mailbox.

8. Upgrade the outdoor lighting for a feeling of safety and to add dramatic effect.

9. Clean your gutters.

10. Place a seasonal wreath on your front door.
