Everyone has heard the adage, "don't judge a book by its cover." Well this is real estate, and I am here to tell you that people always do. Curb appeal sets the tone for the entire house preview and tells you whether the house has been properly maintained over the years. However, sometimes sellers overlook one of the easiest ways to improve the exterior of their home- the front door. In South Florida, one of the main perks is outdoor living. Beautiful sunny days year round is a major selling point. However, when you walk up to a potential house and the front door is dusty, cobwebs abound and mud wasp nests are firmly in place, buyers can immediately be turned off by the property. I like to consider myself a neat individual, but sometimes I look at my front door and cannot believe how filthy it can get and in such a short period of time! So take out a wet rag and wipe that front door down at least once a week if your house is on the market. Even better, power wash the exterior and knock down those wasp nests. If your front door paint is faded or chipped, pull out the paint brush. It takes about an hour to repaint a front door (I've done it several times), and you will be amazed at what a difference that can make. If you do not have HOA color restrictions to worry about, my favorite front door colors that are sure to please a wide audience are either a deep navy or a deep forrest green. Very Navy (M500-7) by Behr is a definite crowd pleaser. Add a simple pop of color by one brightly colored pot filled with flowers- and make sure you water them! Increase your home's value almost instantly!
