Does your home have curb appeal?

It’s not necessary to shell out a lot of money to boost your home’s marketability. On the outside (curb appeal), it may be as simple as mowing the lawn or moving a car out of the driveway.

Since your home’s exterior is the first thing potential buyers will see, take a hard look at the house from all angles.

• What’s good about it? How can you make the most of these features?
• What’s not so good about it? What can you do to correct the problems?

Some suggestions:

• Overall landscaping – don’t let untrimmed hedges, overgrown grass, or clutter in the front yard detract from your home.
• Siding – unless there is damage, usually a good washing will spruce up the look of siding.
• Shutters, screens, windows, and doors have the effect of drawing you into the house. They should be clean, well fitted, and in good repair.
