9 EASY WAYS TO ROCKET YOUR HOME’S VALUE

When it comes to selling a home, a great first impression is crucial. Many real estate professionals say a home that is attractive from the road will sell in nearly half the time it takes to sell a drab home.


1. Garage – Always keep your garage doors clean and closed. Bikes, toys, garbage cans, and lawn care items should be stored neatly inside your garage.

2. Lawn – Don’t just keep your grass neatly trimmed, edge your lawn as well. A sharp edge will give your lawn and home a well-maintained look.

3. Trees and shrubs – Trim back all trees and shrubs. Remove any dead plant life.

4. Shingles – Remove and replace any broken roof shingles. Even a few warped or missing shingles will give the impression your roof needs repair.

5. Doorknob – The doorknob and doorknocker on your front door should be sparkling! Any signs of age will take away from your home’s appeal.

6. Mailbox – Your mailbox should match your home. For example, a $10 mailbox does not go with a $500,000 home.

7. Drapery – How do your drapes or blinds look from the outside? Many homeowners purchase window treatments based on how they look inside the home. Different colors and shapes in front windows can make a home look unbalanced.

8. Flowers – Plant colorful flowers in front of your home to make your residence come alive! This is especially important if your home is white or a dark color.

9. Sidewalk – Patch cracks in your sidewalk. Remove all weeds in and around your sidewalk. Also, sweep the walk and keep it free from dirt and debris.
