Curb Appeal Sells Homes - 5 Steps to Improve Your Dallas Home

I read a recent survey that stressed the importance of curb appeal in the buying decision. I wish I could remember where I read that survey and spent over an hour trying to retrace my steps so I could quote and give credit to the right person but I have failed… failed miserably and I’m sorry. If you know who did the survey, please email me and let me know so I can give them credit.

According to this survey, 82 percent of real estate agents polled said that buyers unimpressed with the exterior of a home will not even want to look inside. The survey also found that 90 percent of those interviewed said a sale depended on the first impressions of the front entry and 91 percent said the exterior of the home is as important as what is inside the home.

I find this especially true for homes in the Dallas Texas Metroplex. So how can you improve your home’s curb appeal to sell better? Here are 5 ways to do just that.

1. Yard and Landscaping- Potted plants and a few decorative (classy, not trashy) items will add character to your home’s exterior.

Grass that is embedded with weeds will not be appealing to potential homebuyers so take the time to pull the weeds and spread weed control over your lawn.
