Crank Up the Curb Appeal

There’s no way of getting around it: the front of your home is the first thing prospective buyers see, so you’d better make it beautiful. Good home and yard maintenance is a must, but focus on a few hot spots too: a freshly painted front door, gleaming hardware, and a few beautiful potted plants make a great first impression. Take a hard look at any fencing you have in the front yard. That picket fence may have been a necessity when your kids were young, but it may be cramping your home’s style now.
