Making Your Tampa Bay Home Stand Out

Curb/Web Appeal Checklist

This is just a partial list of things you can do to increase the exterior appeal of your home. Do not overlook or underestimate the importance of the way your home appears from the street. This is usually the image that will stick in buyers' minds, whether they see it first on the web, on a postcard, or from the curb. This is the buyers' first impression. First impressions go a long way in the decision making process. Make your home standout, inside and out!

• Inspect the outside ground. Remove any building materials, scrap wood, discarded household items, etc. from the property. Store garbage cans in the garage.

• Check the home from the roof line down.
  • Is the roof free and clear from obstructions and moss?
  • Are the gutters clear and neatly hung?
  • Are the windows clean and free from obstructions (such as overgrown bushes or trees)?
  • Are bushes, trees and shrubs neatly pruned?

• Inspect the condition of the paint or siding.
  • Is it time to power wash the siding?
  • Is touch up paint needed?
  • Is the front door in good shape?

• Do flower beds need an upgrade?
  • Are plants neatly pruned?
  • Is the bed free and clear of weeds?
  • Is the bed properly mulched?
  • Are flowers in bloom?
