Let’s Talk Curb Appeal

First impressions matter, so make your home stand out the instant buyers pull up to the curb. Some upgrades can be done in a weekend and will cost more in sweat equity than actual dollars.

  • Refresh the paint color of your home exterior. Including trims, doors, and shutters.
  • Power wash all exterior surface areas that have grime build-up.
  • Add a fresh coat of paint to your door, if it needs it, and place a welcome mat and live plants by the door.
  • Have the roof inspected for any looks or damages.
  • Sweep up the patio and sidewalks.
  • Maintain the lawn by keeping it mowed and weeds removed.
  • Don’t forget to clean up any pet droppings so buyers don’t step on it.
  • Have the downspouts and gutters cleaned of build-up.
  • Remove dead plants and add some fresh bright colored flowers to your landscape.
  • Replace old house numbers, lighting, the mailbox and welcome mat.
  • Clean up the edging around flowerbeds and lay down fresh mulch. Fill in empty beds with small shrubs, seasonal flowers and greenery. Even if it’s the dead of winter, get a pair of urns or large planters and fill them with small evergreen shrubs and cold-hardy annuals.
  • If you have window boxes, fill them with fresh greenery too. If your porch or stoop has room for furniture, add a couple of chairs to expand your outdoor living space.

A love for interior design, family and home is something I think I was born with! Home has always my happy place and a place of safety and comfort for my always growing family. I didn’t pursue real estate until later in life, but it’s been a passion for as long as I can remember.
I can sit here and tell you I have strong negotiating skills, local market knowledge, and so forth – and of course, I do – but one thing I want to share with you, the thing that is the most important tool I can provide you in your home sale or purchase is my passion and my love for people.
My focus goes beyond the professionalism, experience and market knowledge, my focus is to facilitate your WHY, selling or buying your WHY is my priority? You need a real estate agent who understands that, and seeks to know the answer to those questions, and all of the other important ones that make buying and selling a reality for you. You don’t need a computer to find your dream house, you need a professional partner who has your best interest at heart from the moment you call to even after we close. I’m doing more than just selling houses, I’m providing you the keys to bring your dreams home.
