CURB APPEAL WINS IN HOUSING RESALE WARS….by David Bradley
The Reporter, Saturday, November 11,2006 HOME Section

…”with worries over housing values falling, more attention may now be focused on an overlooked aspect of selling a home; curb appeal…if the outside looks so-so, buyers and their real estate agents may turn up their noses and move on to the next property.”

During an enhancement consultation with KJK, Inc, it is always discussed with your seller that the outside of a property creates the very first impression. We provide clear step by step instructions for how to present the outside of the property, as well as the inside, and have a contracting team available that can repaint or repair trims, replace old mailbox posts, whatever is needed for the perfect impression.

Regardless of the size of the entryway; for selling purposes the entry should “welcome” the buyer and be a pre-curser to what the buyer is about to experience as he tours the property. Foyers and Entry’s are always discussed in our enhancement report, and guidelines specific to the property are spelled out for the seller to follow.
