Use these Summertime Curb Appeal Tips that sing "WELCOME HOME!"

Tip #1:    FLOWERS...FLOWERS...and more FLOWERS! 

Pick a nice color scheme of flowers that compliments your front door and shutter color.  Plant flowers in your landscaping, group pots together in groups of 3 and use those plant stands to achieve various heights to add interest in a corner of a porch, patio,  or deck area.  Fertilize, water, dead-head and baby those plants! Keeping them beautiful, fresh, and blooming big all summer will be KEY to creating awesome Curb Appeal. 

Tip #2:    A FRIENDLY FRONT DOOR!   

Give your front door a fresh coat of paint, polish up the hardware or replace it with new, same goes with the light fixtures...if its seen better days, replace it., look up and check for cobwebs, clean the doorbell or replace with a shiny new one, add a shiny brass knocker and a beautiful summer wreath.  Be sure your wreath is new and updated for the season. There's nothing worse than a faded and dated wreath.

Tip #3:    HAVE A SEAT AND STAY AWHILE!  

Does your front door area have a space for a pretty, weather-proof piece of furniture?  This is a perfect way to welcome potential buyers and give them a preview of what’s to come inside!  A pretty chair tucked in a corner, a pair of rocking chairs, or bench with a few colorful pillows visually invites your Buyer to have a seat and stay awhile!

Tip #4 :   CHARMING LITTLE EXTRAS! 

Don't overlook the little charming extras that can make your Buyer fall in love with your house.  Put out a tray of fresh lemonade and cookies if you have a porch with chairs and a table, add a book, magazine, or rolled newspaper by the tray. Fill your bird feeders, hang a small wind chime, add fluffy pillows, and even hide-away a sachet of lavender close to the doorway for a subtle hint of fragrance that says welcome.

Tip #5:     MAINTAIN IT! 

Let's face it...Summertime can be busy with vacations, entertaining, running the kids, etc....and on top of it selling your house!  No matter how busy it gets, maintaining your Curb Appeal has to take priority and is KEY to a successful sale.  Create a scheduled time each day and week to water, mow, sweep, fertilize, trim, etc.  Making a plan keeps you organized and on top of it.
