If they see a cluttered and unkept yard, they are likely to assume that the inside of the house will look the same. You want to get the best possible offer on your house, so pay attention to the property's exterior and spruce it up if needed. And remember that curb appeal applies to your back yard as well.
To have positive curb appeal, you can:
1. Mow the lawn, pull the weeds.
2. Rake and dispose of leaves.
3. Pick up and dispose of any debris.
4. Trim overgrown bushes, trees, or shrubs.
5. Mulch and clean up flowerbeds.
6. Store garden implements and equipment out of sight.
7. Clean house exterior, patios, and decks with a pressure washer.
8. Keep sidewalks and driveways clean.
9. Clean gutters and make sure they are working.
10. Keep animal waste cleaned up.
11. Keep the yard free of toys and other child-related clutter.
Apply the same care and attention to the inside of your home to match its appearance to the outside. You can do this simply by keeping a clean and clutter free appearance, killing any odors, and possibly performing a few minor repairs
Another great aspect of keeping your curb appeal high is that you'll also feel much better about your home and being in it.
A sense of pride about your home says much about a person - no matter how much or how little money they might have, a clean modest home is WAY preferable to a cluttered-with-all-the-gadgets filthy pig-sty.
