First impressions are everything in many aspects of life, and whether you’re hoping to sell your home or simply inviting guests over, you’ll want to make sure that your property has maximum impact from the get go. Curb appeal can often be an overlooked area of preparing a home that could cost you both money and time in the long haul. Your curb and yard are the first and last things buyers see when they come by. A good first and last impression are everything.

Let’s get to these top tips to help improve your home’s curb appeal:

• Paint the front door. One of the simplest ways to ensure that your home looks well put together is by giving your front door a fresh coat of paint.

• Keep your lawn neatly trimmed & neat. Make use of plants and flowers. Another simple yet effective tip, plants and flowers are a quick and impactful way to give your property that wonderful atmosphere.

• Replace old, tired, building materials. An aspect that is often over-looked when it comes to curb appeal, renewing your fascia’s, guttering, and even the soil pipes that run down the side of the house can make a huge difference to the overall look.

• Invest in some outdoor lighting. Some carefully chosen eye catching outdoor lamps or lanterns will ensure that your home is shown in the best light in the evenings and gives an inspiration feel during the daytime.

• Don’t forget to repaint or replace worn out and rusty outdoor furniture. Repair or replace anything that is broken, such as porch railings. Keep the front and backyard clean & spacious.
