Hi Anita, that’s a great question. In my experience, taking care of those details is a great way to help your home stand out. Not only does it boost curb appeal, but it can also prevent issues during the appraisal like chipped paint being flagged, which could delay the sale until it’s addressed. I usually recommend scraping and repainting any areas with peeling paint. The same goes for landscaping, trimming back any overgrowth and keeping things tidy goes a long way. A clean, well-maintained exterior always feels more inviting to buyers.
