1. Curbside appeal

The first thing potential buyers are going to see when they pull up for their first house viewing is the exterior of your property. As we all know, first impressions count. Give your house the chance to shine by putting in some effort to make sure the outside looks perfect. That means, cleaning the windows until they sparkle, tidying up the front garden and maybe even giving the front door a new lick of paint. All fairly simple things that can make a big difference when it comes to marketing your property. A well looked after house is a valuable one.
