Successfully Staging the Exterior of your Home

When you are going to sell your home, you need to stage the outside too. The focus can’t be just on the inside. In fact, it is often the staging of the exterior that gets them excited enough about the home, to take a peek inside.

Lawn Care

A lovely green lawn is something many homeowners are interested in. Don’t ignore this when you are trying to get your home on the market. Consider adding new turf if the current condition of the lawn isn’t the best. Trees and shrubs should be well trimmed and thriving. Plants can be a nice addition along the front of the home. Some colourful flowers can also be visually appealing.

Front Entry

The front entrance needs to be clean and comfortable. Make sure it isn’t cluttered with items you don’t need out there. If it is open, consider some potted plants or hanging baskets of flowers for colour. You could add a simple three-piece outdoor setting to make it look welcoming. If the entry is enclosed, it should be free of clutter and well organized. The windows should be clean to offer a great view of the outdoors.

Driveway and Footpaths

Use a high-pressure hose to remove dirt, debris, and other materials from the driveway and the footpaths. The edging of your lawn should make sure these areas aren’t covered with growth or weeds. Add a sealant to your driveway to help protect it and give it a new look.
