How to Boost Curb Appeal‚ Starting with the Front Door!

By Courtney Soinski

1. Make a statement.

A home’s front door is one of the first things people notice.

Is it drab, drafty or just plain past its prime? Make a bold statement and improve home energy efficiency with a new Energy Star-qualified front door. Consider options with decorative glass accents and stunning sidelights to add more natural light while maintaining a sense of style and privacy.

It’s time for an exterior makeover to add more curb appeal! Whether you’re a real estate agent preparing a house to sell or a homeowner in need of a fresh new look, here are some simple front door tricks that can help boost curb appeal, and ensure visitors and home buyers get a good first impression as soon as they arrive at the doorstep.

“When replacing your old front door, choose from one that accents your home’s style, with high-performance features that help keep out air and water, and low-maintenance convenience like durable pre-finished options with coordinating trim,” says door and window expert Kathy Krafka Harkema.

26801.24.2.006.BlogFiller.indd 1

2. Accessorize with new hardware.

Replace the front door hardware for a quick, easy facelift.

Choose hardware finishes consistent with those included in the light fixtures, mailbox and house numbers to maintain a polished, cohesive look. You’ll be surprised what a difference new front door hardware can make in creating a positive look and feel.

3. Refresh exterior and trim colors.

Now’s also time to add a new storm door to help keep out the elements, or to add a refreshing coat of paint on your existing exterior doors for a fresh look.

For a dramatic change, repaint the exterior. You can also change trim color to refresh the home’s exterior impact. When updating trim, choose color schemes that match its primary exterior color, or complement it with a fresh twist.

4. Accent with lighting.

For night-time curb appeal and safety, add a row of exterior accent lighting to illuminate a walking path with groundinsert solar lights. Or consider solar spotlights to bring out landscaping or architectural focal points. Install new matching light fixtures outside the front door, garage door or patio door to create an inviting feel and provide welllit doorways to greet visiting neighbors, guests, or potential home buyers.

5. Create points of interest with plants.

Add pops of color by arranging potted plants around the front door, or on a porch or deck.

Incorporate planters or container gardens of varied sizes, shapes and colors to add visual interest. Also, planting flowerbeds along driveways and walkways gives off a softer, more inviting feel.

Questions to Ask Every Agent Before Listing Your Home

Page 1

Scan code to shop for homes now!

As encouraging news of the reviving housing market gains momentum, many homeowners will again consider selling their home.

If you’re like most sellers, a home is your single largest financial asset, and the commission paid to a real estate professional is substantial.

Therefore, you should have high expectations of an agent, and fully understand the strategies and tools they use to market your home.

To be sure your home is sold quickly and for the best price, ask an agent these questions before listing your home with them:

1

How will you market my home to local buyers?

4

Real estate remains hyper local. In 2012, the National Association of REALTORS® reported that home buyers only moved about 12 miles from their previous residence. That means there is a very good chance the buyer of your home lives in your town or one nearby.

Buying a home is not an impulse purchase and it takes about three months from the time a buyer starts their search to signing a contract. During that time, they continue to work, shop, eat, and play in areas immediately adjacent to your home and community. Ask your agent what their plan is to reach out to that local buyer.

2

How will you market my home to out of market buyers?

Your home’s price and community could attract relocating buyers. Listing your home on one of the many free Internet listing services like Realtor.com, Trulia.com or Zillow.com is a good starting point, much like a phone book listing, but it requires a buyer seek out the site, and sift through search results to find your home, which it’s not an aggressive marketing program. To get the best results, successful agents must use outbound marketing and other forms of media to reach out to buyers in other areas.

3

How will you market my home to other local top agents?

Holding open houses is always a good investment. Both agents and local home shoppers can actually see the unique character of your home versus just looking at online photos. It engages other local agents, which can also bring you a buyer more quickly. Additionally, professional quality printed materials like flyers and postcards keep your home in front of them long after they walk out the door.

What types of media will you use to advertise my home?

In today’s multi-media world advertising is everywhere, and the way consumers find information is constantly changing.

Be cautious of agents who use only the web to market your home. Your agent must understand the importance of multiple media, like social media, mobile apps, text codes, local real estate magazines, direct mail and other printed materials to actively reach out to buyers everywhere – not just passively hoping for buyers to find your listing online.

5

How are you going to realistically price my home?

Pricing a home requires an intimate knowledge of the market to get it right. You want to get the best price, but there can be a disconnect between your expectations as a seller and the price for which your home will realistically sell.

If an agent overprices your home, it may ultimately sell for less than it would have if priced correctly from the beginning. It could also create conflict with the bank’s appraisal when the buyer tries to secure a mortgage.

Ask to see a comparison of list price, sold price, and number of days on market for your agent’s ten most recent transactions.

Homes that sit on the market too long and go through multiple price reductions are typically overpriced.

Calculate the commission you pay to get your home sold and we think you will agree that you have the right to expect a very aggressive campaign. The best agents in your town will meet or exceed the expectations that we’ve laid out here and you deserve to work with only the best.
