Five Tips to Improve Curb Appeal
You only get one chance to make a first impression, when it comes to the exterior of your home. Whether you are planning to sell your home or you just want to make it more inviting, one of the best things you can do is add to its curb appeal.
It’s a quick fix that makes a huge statement and may even add value to your property. A little extra work and elbow grease can greatly improve the curb appeal of your home and make it even more inviting for buyers as they picture themselves potentially living there.
Here are five easy tasks that will add to the curb appeal of your home and won't break the bank or take up your whole weekend to accomplish.
1.) Large, attractive and clean house numbers make your home stand out. They also make your address easier to read for family, friends, prospective buyers and even delivery people.
2.) You may not notice your mailbox, but those driving by sure do. A simple coat of paint can spruce up your mailbox or if it has seen better days, replace it. A nice mailbox certainly adds to curb appeal.
3.) Your front door is a focal point of your home's exterior. Don't let it slip into the background. Choose a bold color of paint and some bright and shiny hardware to bring it to the forefront.
4.) Fresh mulch and plants can make your yard really pop, especially planters that flank your newly painted, bold front door. Remember to keep your yard mowed and edged as well.
5.) Last but certainly not least, making the exterior of your house sparkle, greatly adds to curb appeal. This can be achieved by washing windows as well as power washing the exterior of the house itself along with the sidewalks and driveway.

Buying and selling homes with Jesse and his team was an incredible experience! They helped every step of the way, and made the process seamless. I appreciate how Jesse was helpful with advice when we needed it, and always incredibly supportive of our decisions — I feel like that would be a hard.
