🌿 Post 1: First Impressions Matter—Start at the Curb

Picture this: A buyer pulls up to your home, and in the first 8 seconds, they’ve made up their mind. You want that decision to be, “I need this house!”

Here’s how to make it happen:

• Power wash the siding, porch, and driveway.
• Mow the lawn, edge the sidewalk, and add fresh mulch to flower beds.
• Paint or replace that tired front door. Bonus points for a bold color.
• Replace dated house numbers and upgrade your outdoor lighting.

⚡ Pro Tip: Add a seasonal wreath or fresh potted plants by the entryway. It’s the easiest way to say, “Welcome home.”
