What are the three features that drive curb appeal?

When you are looking to purchase a home or considering selling you want everything inside and out to look great. A potential buyer starts viewing the home even before they enter. If a home has driveways that are cracked or pitted with potholes, damaged front doors, and scuffed mailboxes it can significantly detract from a the overall curb appeal.

If your driveway is scuffed, cracked and has holes in it you may want to consider repairing or resurface it. The driveway is one of the largest visual elements along with siding, roof, and lawn. If a driveway is covered in debris it can also drive a potential homeowner away.

Although your mailbox may be one of the first things a potential homeowner will notice. Having a scuffed and damage mailbox may also drive them away, considering sprucing it up. A mailbox can also help identify your home when you are helping your guests find it. Consider painting your mailbox or even swap it out for something that compliments your exterior.

The front door is last feature that drives your curb appeal. If your front door is full of scuff marks consider giving it a fresh coat of paint, but don’t forget about giving the trim around your door a fresh coat. Adding new lighting and hardware can also change the look of your front porch.
