FRONT DOOR
The front door is one of the most important features of a home when it comes to curb appeal. “Real estate agents refer to the front of your home as the “gate,’’ Prendamano said.
STEPS, PORCH
One of the most important features of your home when it comes to curb appeal is the steps and porch. Make sure that your steps are in good condition and that your porch is clean and inviting.
“We want to see clean, neat, a manicured lawn, fresh mulch, flowers in bloom,’’ Prendamano said.
HARDWARE
Hardware is a very important part of your home’s exterior. Make sure that all of your hardware is in good condition and that it matches the style of your home.
Quick fixes like replacing door hardware are a worthwhile investment, he said. Door knockers, locks, handle sets are reasonably priced and easily repaired by the homeowner. If they’re rusty or dated, they will turn buyers off, agents say. “Things like that can go a long way, and they’re not that expensive,’’ Prendamano noted.
RAILINGS
Railings are another important part of your home’s exterior. If they’re in bad condition, it can really hurt your curb appeal.
“Railings are another feature that shouldn’t be ignored”, Prendamano said, noting that replacement or repair should absolutely take place.
