WHEN THE OUTSIDE MATTERS

BOOST DON’T SPOOK M AXI M I Z I N G YO U R H O ME’S CURB A PPEA L You’ve spent or are considering spending thousands of dollars on updating your home’s interior, but are you maximizing your home’s full potential? Your home’s curb appeal can be just as important as its interior design and layout. If you’re looking to sell your home, it can also be a significant factor in getting the best price.

Curb appeal refers to the exterior design and features of your home. It’s the first impression, and we know you only get one chance to make a first impression. A home’s curb appeal gives onlookers/buyers a peek at the quality of a house that they might be able to find inside. Is it attractive to the eye, and does it inspire confidence?

So, where do you begin? Find inspirations, decide on a budget, and most importantly, assemble a team you can trust for the job. You can ensure a successful renovation by thinking through each part of the process. Investors and homeowners alike will benefit from taking the time to consider their desired outcome and the steps required to get there.

SHOULD YOU INVEST IN AN EXTERIOR HOME REVAMP? According to exterior renovation experts, Brick & Batten, “With all the time and money that goes into a curb appeal revamp, you might be wondering if it’s really worth the trouble. After all, it would be a lot easier to list your home on the market as is or move into a new house that already has a dreamy porch, stunning windows, perfect bushes, and a bright door. However, an exterior makeover costs next to nothing in comparison to the return on investment you’ll see once it’s time to resell. Exterior paint can provide a 141% return on investment, and the first impression of your home can add 20% to your home’s value. “ BEFORE
