• Curb appeal

There’s a lot to be said about how a home looks on the outside. Well-kept homes with beautiful yards are a seller’s dream.

Make sure the paint on the outside of the home is in good condition and add touch-ups wherever you need to. Make sure the walkways are without cracks, and the windows are sparkling. Every little bit helps.
