Use Color Effectively 

Color can be a power tool in attracting people to your home. Perhaps the exterior of your home could use a fresh coat of paint or a new door? This is a great opportunity to add some points of interest to your property. Always remember, however, more is less—choose colours that are similar to other homes in the area. You can infuse more vibrant and interesting colours through accent features and flowers or plants. 

Create An Inviting Entrance 

By creating curb appeal, makes the entrance to your home attractive and inviting will give potential buyers an instant sense of welcome. From the moment they walk through the door. Make the door the focal point of the exterior of your home; and think about elements such as lighting and colour to make it as attractive as possible. Also think about details like including a nice welcome mat on your front step; some flowers in attractive pots or urns flanking the entrance; and even consider adding a chair with a small table if you have a larger porch area. 

Landscaping Is A Must! 

Making your lawn and yard attractive, free of clutter and debris is very powering. Having your yard nicely landscaped can really make all the difference in creating curb appeal. First remove all weeds, fix any areas on your lawn that need repair, and mow it carefully. If you have any unsightly items or clutter in the yard; remove it and replace it with well-placed flowers and plants. If you have a large front yard with no trees; consider planting one or two to add interest and value to the property. 

These are just a few of the many ways in which, with a little effort and a small amount of money; you can increase interest in your home. SEND ME FREE SELLER GUIDE
