Home improvements aren’t necessarily costly. Many fixes, though relatively inexpensive can greatly enhance the asthetics of a room or change the exterior of a home. Start by fixing all obvious issues first such as leaks, roof repairs, damaged flooring, or eyesores. Then, you will be ready to move on to updates and upgrades that will make your home more appealing to buyers.
Maximize Your Curb Appeal
- Clean all gutters
- Repair or replace any damaged siding, windows, or roofing
- Pressure wash siding, driveway, and pathways
- Keep the lawn mowed, the shrubbery trimmed, and the flower beds weeded
- Plant perrenial or annual flowers that will bloom when you’re selling. For Spring sales, plant bulbs such as daffodil, tulip, & hyacinth in the fall. For Summer sales, plant flowers such as pansies, petunias, zinnia, & daylily. Plant flowers such as chrysanthemum, viola and ornamental kale or cabbage for fall sales.
