31 Days to Sell Your Home: Day 21 – Curb Appeal (Yes, AGAIN)

🏡 Don’t Stop at the Big Stuff
Curb appeal doesn’t end with flowers and fresh mulch. Buyers are taking in everything — and small flaws at the entrance can give off big red-flag energy.

Double-Check These Details:

  • Porch lights (are they rusty? working?)
  • Mailbox (upright and clean?)
  • Doorbell (functional — and not cracked)
  • House numbers (visible and not peeling)
  • Welcome mat (cute, not crusty)

These things seem minor — until a buyer spots three of them in a row. That’s when doubt creeps in.

Quick Fixes That Impress:

  • Replace lightbulbs and clean the fixtures
  • Install fresh, modern house numbers
  • Swap in a new doormat
  • Touch up paint around trim, doorframe, or mailbox post

👉 One Action to Take Today:
Stand at your front door and look around like a buyer would. Do the little things say “well cared for”? If not, change that.
