IMPROVE YOUR CURB APPEAL

The first thing a prospective buyer will notice is the outside of your home and that will quickly help them decide if they want to look further. Even if searching online the majority of homes listed on the MLS ® System offer the exterior of the home as the first photo and if they don’t, you can rest assured buyers are clicking through to see what the outside looks like. With that in mind, if you’re listing or even thinking about it, you’ll want to ensure your property has curb appeal. Those first few moments can be crucial to a buyer, so do your best to highlight your home. If you live in a condominium and have limited options, make sure your door is clean and the hardware is shiny and doesn’t stick, if nothing else. If you live in a detached home, the lawn should be mowed (or sidewalks shovelled if it’s the season), the front door, windows, siding, etc. should all be in good repair and clean. Smaller details like lighting, landscaping materials and plants and bushes will also help pique a buyer’s interest. If the exterior of the property is visually appealing and well taken care of, they will generally assume the interior is as well and that will help guide them into your home (literally and figuratively) as they determine if it meets their needs.
