CostEffective Maintenance to Improve the Appeal of Your Home MAY

Boost the Curb Appeal of Your Home

If you are selling your home and want to present it at its best during inspections without spending a lot of money on upgrades, AREA Title Agency has a post with tips which can help.

Your Lawn

The first place to start is with a buyer’s first impression, which is your lawn. Whether you have a large lawn with flower beds and ornaments or just a small patch of grass with a free and some shrubs:

• Clear your lawn of any debris, such as fallen leaves and branches, toys, or mail.
• Once clear, before each inspection, use your lawnmower to perform a quick cut.
• If you can, clean the lines between your yard and driveway or paths.

Once you have finished this, walk to the curb and take a look, and then to the other side of the road and do the same. These are the first views which potential buyers will have, so be sure they are good views.

Consistent Lighting

The lighting in your home can have a large impact on how comfortable buyers feel in and about your home. Take a tour of your home and:

• Replace any bulbs which have blown.
• Replace any bulbs which are dimmer than others in the room.
• If any lights flicker, replace them.
• Lastly, if any lights take a while to switch on, replace them.

As you can see, the theme is simply to replace bulbs. And while it may seem simple, it’s cost effective and can really improve the look and feel of your home.
