Everyone loves a
beautiful home on the inside, but too often we forget that the exterior is your home’s first
impression. It is known that a house with good curb appeal sells more quickly
and for a higher dollar value than a house in the same neighborhood that is not
appealing from the exterior. Plus, a home
with good curb appeal not only adds value to the home but also to the
neighborhood. I see the effects of this firsthand. As a realtor, too often my potential buyers pass up touring the
inside of a good home just because it looks “ugly” on the outside.
Ugly
houses are seen as
golden opportunities to investors. They sit on the market for far too
long, and
are eventually purchased at discount by someone who can visualize how
small
improvements can make a huge difference and increase the value of the
home. But not everyone can envision the potential. Sellers don't know
how or where to make improvements, often fearful it will require too
much money and effort. And realtors are
often left wishing they could show buyers how great a home could look
with
minimal changes that would not only make the purchase worth their while,
but
also add value instantly.
To help realtors, sellers, and
buyers envision the potential a home contains, we offer a curb appeal facelift
that is done virtually. You send us a picture of your home and we provide
recommendations and a visual representation of what your home could look like.
Take a look at a recent
project of ours. The client was preparing to list her home on the market and
was at a loss on how to make the home’s exterior more appealing.
