Potential buyers want to be able to see the home they will be potentially purchasing so cut back those trees and shrubs so we can well… see the house! Remove any dead trees and make sure to trim any tree limbs hanging over the house. With a good pair of sheers and some time, you can add to your curb appeal! Oh and mow the yard. This feels obvious, but there is nothing better than freshly mowed green grass. If you need recommendations, just ask, we’ve got tons!
Beautiful pots full of flowers, or adding some gorgeous perennials to your current landscape can bring up that wow factor in no time at all! The time of year matters here, but if it's warm enough, this small investment can do wonders for the exterior of your home!
Design Tip: If you opt for fresh flowers it is recommended you use reds, purples, and blues against a light-colored house - oranges, yellows, and pinks for a dark-colored house!
Okay, this can be a big ticket item BUT sometimes this investment is a must. We see it all the time, the interior of a home is stunning and the outside, well, leaves something to be desired. If your exterior does not look well taken care of, potential buyers could pull up and opt not to even tour the home. Sometimes, just painting the trim can do the trick! Color matters here so make sure you either chat with a professional color consultant or select something neutral! Need a recommendation? We’ve got you!
Make sure any leaves or growths are cleaned off and out of your gutters and roof. Yes, potential buyers notice this!
If you have an outdoor living space, make it feel inviting! This is a must-have for many homeowners and if you are lucky enough to have a great space, highlight it. A good powerwash, debris clean up and some simple updated outdoor furniture is all that is required! Need ideas on how to decorate, check out our Let’s Talk Patios - Live.Laugh.Design. here!
This truly is a buyer's first impression of how the home has been cared for. As they wait to enter the home, they are looking around the exterior of the home. Clear out those cobwebs, sweep the front stoop, power wash it and if necessary add a fresh coat of paint to that front door (tasteful pops of color are fun to use here). A new welcome mat and a door wreath make a home feel loved and welcoming!
A new top layer of mulch is a great way to refresh a space. This is an inexpensive way to make whatever landscaping you have to look new!
