House Selling Tips – Curb Appeal Tips to attract potential Home Buyers

House Selling Tips 1 - Achieving curb appeal for all four seasons begins with a plant selection plan that will provide something to catch the eye in each of the four seasons. The goal is to have flowering trees throughout spring and summer, fall foliage in autumn and good structure in winter. 

House Selling Tips 2 - When you are designing a landscape that will be going on the real estate market, you are designing for the tastes of someone else not your own. You need info about what buyers are currently looking for, as well as a grasp of curb appeal. 

House Selling Tips 3 - Curb appeal can be a challenge along the seacoast, where salty soils and salt laden winds present a landscaping problem. If you wish to dress up the approach to your beach home, use specimens such as the salt tolerant plants. 

House Selling Tips 4 - You need not have a perfectly green and crab grass free lawn, but plugging holes and filling in bare spots with seed can enhance visual appeal of your home. Keep your grass trimmed and orderly, rake up fall leaves, and do something about all of those dandelions. 

House Selling Tips 5 - Trim the vegetation around your home -- particularly those bushes that may conceal windows. Then be sure that your landscaping looks great all of the time, even if you have to hire a gardener while your home is listed. 

House Selling Tips 6 - Make sure the sidewalk and front walkways are swept clean and remove any weeds you see growing in the cracks. You should repair any bad cracks in the front walkway. 

House Selling Tips 7 - Make sure the lawn stays freshly mowed and all shrubs are neatly trimmed. Add a little sod to any bare spots in your lawn. 

House Selling Tips 8 - If the roof needs to be replaced, do it before you start showing your home to buyers. Replace any broken or missing shingles or tiles where needed. If the eaves and fascia boards look bad, just give them a fresh coat of paint. 

House Selling Tips 9 - Doorway is the focal point of your home. You can simply repaint the door and replace the hardware to give a new fresh look. If you have house numbers by your door, those can easily be replaced, if needed. 

House Selling Tips 10 - Annual flowers are an inexpensive way to add instant color to your exterior. Whether you choose hanging baskets, window boxes or planters on the deck or porch, area nurseries will have a wide variety available.
