What is Curb Appeal?



In life, it is true that we never get a “second” first impression.  The same holds true for Real Estate.  Your residential specialists in the Denver North Metro Area, Jeffrey Harmes and The Harmes Team, agree to this too. Curb Appeal contributes to more than 50% influence on the buyers’ perspective as they view your home from the outside. 
Typically, we spend so much time and money on cosmetics for the interior of our homes, oftentimes we forget to pay attention to what people can see from the corner of the street or just in front of your property.  We all want to WOW the prospective buyers, get their attention and eventually, get their YES to wanting to buy our home the minute they park in front of our property.  We want them to want to look inside.  These exterior details include your landscape (or the condition of your garden/yard-front and back), your driveway, the roof, and of course, the overall look of your house.  You may need to ask yourself “Does your house need repainting, remodeling or a total makeover?”  Do not fret if the answer to any of those is a “yes.”  Spending a little more time and money in making these improvements will definitely add to the actual value of your home. Thus, giving you more money in your pocket once it is closed.  Check out these Keys to Creating Good Curb Appeal and Low Cost Tips to Improve Your Home and see what needs to be done for your home before you start selling.
Remember, when you think Real Estate and improving your home's Curb Appeal, THINK of THE HARMES TEAM!

The state of Colorado implements  rules and regulations  when it comes to donating to which charitable institutions/causes.
