The first thing to improve the curb value of your home is to remove yourself from the mindset of a homeowner and changing to the mindset of a home buyer. The current market has plenty of homes for sale, so you need to make your home stand out from the first impression. Once your in the mindset of the buyer do a drive by of your home and write down everything the sticks out about its appearance. Have a friend drive by and make sure that you haven't missed anything. Check for exterior problems like damaged shingles ,clapboard and vinyl siding. Make sure to fix the areas that are damaged. Inspect your gutters for any obvious damage. Look at the shutters and make sure none of them are damaged. Clean up the clutter of outdoor furniture and throw out anything that is beyond repair. Make sure that everything is in working such as door knobs and door bells. Once you have all the problems identified make sure to touch up the paint and remove any thing that has accumulated on the house such as moss, bees and bird nests and spider webs. After the exterior of your house has been touched up, Next is the landscape of your home. Trim bushes and remove weeds. Make sure to plant colorful flowers and mow the lawn regularly when it is on the market.
Next I will discuss what is needed to improve the interior of your home to appeal to home buyers!
