Did you know that the majority of buyers base their decision as to whether or not they want to buy your home before they even get out of the car?  I can't tell you how many times I have previewed a home for a buyer and had to tell them to look past things like, old paint or an overgrown yard just to get them inside. 

Curb appeal is a buyer's first impression of your home, and you only have one chance at making a good impression!  Here are some tips on creating curb appeal:

• Go green!  There's nothing worse than a dried up lawn with weeds.  Toss some fertilizer on the lawn and water throughly.  Be sure to edge walkways and sidewalks and mow neatly in a diagonal pattern if possible.
• Add a splash of color!  You can purchase a six pack of annuals for under $2.00 at Lowes, so pick up a few six packs of your favorite colors and plant away.  Some nice color bowls at the steps and front door are always a nice touch!
• Let the sunshine in!  Wash those windows and screens.  Sweep the cobwebs and dust off of the window cills.  Make those windows shine!
• Add a few final touches!  A nice mailbox, a pretty wreath on the front door, a nice bench with cushions on the porch, some statuary, a new doormat, new street numbers and last but not least a new light fixture.  

By spending just a $200 or less you will drastically improve the value of your home!
