First Impressions Start at the Street

When a buyer arrives at your house, they should feel welcomed.   First impressions start at the street. 

There are many simple ways to spruce up your yard and the exterior of your house. 

• Put out new mulch or pine straw in your flower beds.
• Add some seasonal flowers to make the front yard more vibrant.
• Power wash the sidewalks and driveway. 
• Clean the light fixtures and windows.
• Paint the front door.
• Trim the shrubs.
• Stage your porches and decks for relaxing or entertaining.
• Put out a new welcome mat.
• Walk around your house to check exterior paint and walkability of the yard.
• Rake the leaves.
• Keep trash cans and hoses out of the front view of the house.
• Remove and store the window screens to give a clean look both inside and out. 

These are just a few ideas to make your house more welcoming.   For more ideas, check out my Pinterest Board Home Staging Like a Pro.  Remember sometimes plain old elbow grease and a small amount of money will increase your curb appeal and bring that buyer home.
