If your home is on the market take a step back and look at your homes "curb appeal." Fall home sales need fall curb appeal because curb appeal provides potential buyers with a first impression of your house. Take a picture of the front of your house and then examine the picture. Your home and your "curb appeal" need to look amazing right now, especially because many buyers are likely doing initial drive-bys before they schedule a showing.

It may be tempting to let the outside of your home slide as the weather gets cooler, but many buyers are out right now. Consider some simple tips to improve your home's curb appeal for potential buyers.

Power Wash your driveway, front porch, door and windows. You'll be amazed how this brightens up the whole house and gives it a "new" look impression.

Weed Planting Beds makes the house look neat and tidy and sets the tone for what is to follow inside.

Trim Shrubs And Trees will open up the view of the house and enhance the home's details and trim.

Plant Flowers In Containers and place on the front porch. This adds a burst of color to the home and invites guests up to the door.

Add New Mulch/Pinestraw to all the planting beds to show off your shrubs and trees.

Dress Front Door with a new coat of paint possibly in a color different front your shutters. This make your home unique and stand out. Add a fall wreath for an extra punch!

Replace Door Hardware with one of the newest styles and finishes for a modern look.

Upgrade The Driveway for an added bonus.  Power wash and then repair the cracks and stains (and kill the weeds). Then stain the concrete or add flagstones/brick along the edges.

Remember, the first thing anyone sees when at your home is the front of the house and your front yard.  Making sure the curb appeal is in top shape.
