Summer Curb Appeal Tips For Your Listings

Summer Curb Appeal Tips For Your Listings

When it comes to optimizing house value for their customers, agents must pay attention to every aspect. When things like gardening or putting on a fresh coat of paint are done intentionally, the value of a property rises by 5% to 11% on average.

If you want to improve the curb appeal of your property this summer, take a look at these inexpensive and straightforward recommendations.

Add a fresh coat of paint

A fresh coat of paint is a simple tip to give to your client. Using a paddle brush to clean the fence, windowpanes, or complete exterior may give any listing a facelift and delay the aging process by a few years.

Refresh the lawn

Lawn upkeep is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve curb appeal. A well-kept lawn adds to the ageless image of suburbia and a carefree life. Regular lawn maintenance will keep the grass lush and green for extended periods, enhancing the appearance of the home.

Think about future buyers — and their little ones

If you want home buyers to crown your property with the "dream house" moniker, you must examine their wish list and long-term ambitions. For most people, a house is more than just a roof over their heads. Buyers want to know they're making a wise financial and emotional investment. Some people buy a house to raise their family in, while others buy a house to live out their vision of doing crossword puzzles by the pool. Consider putting a play set or tire swing in the front yard, planting a tree in front of a bay window, or arranging patio furniture outside.

Work with a green thumb

Do you want to impress buyers? It's all in the green details. Suggest to your customers that they visit a local plant nursery and add a flower bed or interesting plants to their yard. This extra touch may bring out colors on the outside and provide a lasting sense that the property was well-cared for and appreciated by its owners. Remember to trim bushes and give the plants a new, groomed look. Disheveled or untidy plants and brushes might frighten purchasers and lower the value of your property.

Make a route

Paving a swoon-worthy walkway is one design moment to create for customers. With so many possibilities, you can include a contemporary vibe into your listing's interior style with stone and cement or make your route more attractive with stacked bricks. This landscaping option will elicit an emotional reaction from customers and enable them to feel at ease before turning the key.

Make plans for the following season

Summer, however, does not stay forever (at least in most states), so consider what the maintenance could look like for future owners long after the property has been sold. We propose creating a strategy for perennials or choosing year-round plants that can withstand a variety of temperatures.

By using these ideas, you and your clients will be one step closer to receiving top dollar for your listing.
