How to Increase Your Curb Appeal (Infographic)

Louisiana REATLORS • December 21, 2020

Your home’s curb appeal is its strongest weapon to make the best first impression possible. A well-kept lawn, fresh foliage, and a little exterior maintenance can go a long way. If you are considering putting your home on the market, curb appeal is an essential consideration. No matter how clean, contemporary, or organized the inside of your home is, when prospective buyers arrive, the first thing that they will notice is your lawn, landscaping, and the overall upkeep of your home’s exterior. With a little effort and a few small outdoor chores, you can position your home in the best possible way. 


A fresh and clean landscape that includes new mulch, a pressure washed driveway and sidewalk, with some newly trimmed trees and shrubbery can put your potential buyers in the best frame of mind as they approach the front door. When someone sees the care and attention you have given to your yard and the outside of your house, imagine the attention to detail that you gave to what is inside. Never underestimate the value of a first impression. Here are a few tips that can help you get the most out of your home’s curb appeal.
