Destin Real Estate Beach Front Information - Exterior and Curb Appeal

Before putting your house on the market, take as much time as necessary (and as little money as possible) to maximize its exterior and interior appeal.

Enhance your home's exterior and curb appeal by:

• Keeping the lawn edged, cut and watered regularly
• Trimming hedges, weeding lawns and flowerbeds, and pruning trees regularly
• Checking the foundation, steps, walkways, walls and patios for cracks and crumbling
• Inspecting doors and windows for peeling paint
• Cleaning and aligning gutters
• Inspecting and cleaning the chimney
• Repairing and replacing loose or damaged roof shingles
• Repairing and repainting loose siding and caulking
• During spring and summer months considering adding a few showy annuals, perhaps in pots, near your front entrance
• Re-sealing an asphalt driveway
• Keeping your garage door closed
• Storing RVs or old and beaten up teens' jalopies elsewhere while the house is on the market
• Applying a fresh coat of paint to the front door
