Easy Curb Appeal Fixes

How important is curb appeal really? Have you heard the research that potential buyers decide within the first eight seconds of seeing a home if they're interested in buying it? So what are buyers going to see in the first eight seconds after driving up to your investment property? If you're listing your flipped house today and expect immediate interest, you may have to try a few quick tips below to get it in the best shape you can.

Paint Job or Power Wash

If you've walked around the perimeter of your house recently, and you notice peeling and chipped paint, it may be time to bite the bullet and repaint the house. Check the windows, walkways, and smaller details that are looking drab. A quick power washer can help transform these areas inexpensively. You can easily rent a power washer from Home Depot.

Boring Yard

You may not have the time or money to invest in new landscaping, but that doesn't mean you can't make the yard look tidy. Plant fresh flowers in pots placed near your front door and add a new welcome mat to finish the look. Buy a bunch of mulch at Home Depot for cheap. It's one of the easiest ways to transform your yard and make it look fresh and neat. Mow the lawn and trim stray branches to give it a clean look and feel.

Front Door Fix

Consider updating your front door. A new door can return between 75–100 percent of your investment. Add a pop of color and paint your front door if you don't have time or money to update the whole house with a fresh paint job.

Fall Leaves. Everywhere

Get out the hose and spray away all leaves from sidewalks and walkways. An abundance of leaves in the yard can be a turnoff to those looking to buy as it may make them think the home is unkempt or that the yard is hard to take care of.

Follow the above tips for some easy curb appeal  fixes to sell your house quickly . Good luck with the sale of your property!
