Curb Appeal-Appearance is Everything

When potential buyers drive by your home what do they see? A good first impression is key bringing in potential buyers. Take this list into consideration when looking at the outside of your home:

• Is the yard well maintained? Lawns mowed, hedges trimmed?
• Are garbage & debris stored out of sight?
• Are hoses & outdoor equipment properly stored?
• Does the house need painting-the window casings, shutters, siding or doors?
• Are there cracks in the foundation or walkways?
• Does the driveway need resurfacing
• Are the gutters & walls in good condition?
