Grab a soft-bristled brush and get rid of the dirt that\u2019s accumulated on vinyl, metal, stucco, wood, and brick surfaces. A power washer can be rented cheaply and get your walkways looking sparkly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Clean the windows both the insides and outsides; get rid of any cobwebs, and clean up the garage door. Try a solution of TSP (Trisodium Phosphate) of around \u00bd a cup to a gallon of water, and you\u2019ll find this is really easy.\u00a0 It might take a few weekends of work but it\u2019s possible to add $10,000 or more to the sale price of a home through a thorough clean.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Re-paint the exterior<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s an expensive job, so check with your realtor before you start but if you make that paintwork look shiny and new it can have a real impact on prospective buyers, but make sure the paint matches the rest of the neighborhood or you could reduce the value of your home.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Clean or fix the roof<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Any buyer\u2019s appraisal agent is going to check out the state of the roof on your home and if it\u2019s not up to scratch they\u2019re going to recommend a discount based on the costs of repairs, so either fix it now or pay for it later. If there\u2019s nothing wrong with your roof, give it a good clean \u2013 a few hundred dollars and you can have this done professionally and buyers check out the roof as soon as they arrive.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tidy the Lawn<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s time to fill in bare patches with grass seed and sod, cut back the crab grass and give the lawn a regular trim. And while you\u2019re there it\u2019s a good idea to tidy up the hedges, bushes, shrubs and flowers to give a manicured appeal.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Do the maintenance<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can lose 10% of the value of your home through small things on the outside, sort out sagging gutters, if your bricks are mortar-less repoint them, reseal any cracked asphalt, get the shutters straightened and fix any cracked windows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Curb appeal is the way that your home appears to a prospective buyer from the outside, if you\u2019re looking to make the best of selling your house in Moultrie or Colquitt County then we\u2019ve got some tips to help you boost your curb appeal.
