Easy Ways to Improve Curb Appeal

Curb appeal can make or break a sale in today’s market.

If your sellers are willing to improve the outside of their homes, here are some low-cost ways to increase a home’s curb appeal.

1. Clean up beds by weeding and pruning shrubs. Add mulch for a high-end look.
   
2. Invest in pots. A couple of attractive ceramic (or ceramic look-alike) pots filled with attractive plants can really make an entrance look classier.
   
3. Install landscape lighting on the path to the front door.
   
4. Replace the mailbox with a newer one and put some nice plantings at its base to dress it up.
