10 Easy Ways to Boost Your Curb Appeal

Grabbing the potential buyer’s attention as soon as they pull in the driveway is hard to do if your house looks like every other house on your street. With Your Favorite Real Estate Team’s help, we can help boost your curb appeal. Your home will draw in buyers and get them excited before they even get to the front door. Let’s get your Lake of the Ozark home ready for showings! These tips are easy, made for do it yourselfers and won’t break the bank.

1. Make the Front Door Pop

The first thing anyone looks at when they look at your home will be the front door. Make it stand out with a fresh modern color. While you are at it update that old doorknob and deadbolt and hang a wreath or other decor to make it call them inside.

2. Maintain the Lawn

Mowing the grass, raking leaves, pulling weeds are important steps to maintain that curb appeal. No one wants to see an overgrown and unmaintained yard --especially potential buyers!

3. Add Some Greenery

While we are talking about maintaining the lawn, add some fresh flowers or planters. This is a cost-effective way to brighten and liven up the outdoor space.

4. Upgrade Mailbox

The old mailbox is something we use every day but is often neglected. Let’s upgrade that thing! A very easy task and if no one else notices, the mailman will sure be happy!

5. Update Your House Numbers

Those old house numbers have been there since the house was built. For only a few dollars and about five minutes, those old dingy numbers can be updated.

6. Update Exterior Lighting

Those old light fixtures aren’t lightening up anyone’s lives. Update those lights with some modern fixtures and some led bulbs and light the way for potential buyers.

7. Power Wash Exterior

All these updates and upgrades won’t hide the dirt and grime. Take a Saturday, grab the power washer and get busy. Clean the exterior of the house, driveway and decks and patios. All this will cost you is a little time.

8. Clean Your Gutters

Not a fun job, but a must to keep the outside of your home looking nice. Nothing is more distracting than some foliage growing in your gutters!

9. Paint the Garage Door

Has the garage door seen better days? No need to replace it. Let’s make it pop like the front door with a nice fresh coat of paint. Again, this is a very inexpensive way to upgrade the curb appeal.

10. Outdoor Furniture

Outdoor furniture can be very inviting. Who doesn’t like some front porch sitting? Make sure there isn’t too much. Having too many pieces of furniture can just look cluttered. Eliminate some pieces if need be.


As you can see all these tips can be done with a little time and elbow grease. Your Favorite Real Estate Team is made up of experienced agents and are your go-to guys for Lake of the Ozarks real estate. Let us help you get your home ready, listed and sold!
