Exterior Allure

Recently a client was telling me about all the renovations planned for the INSIDE of their home to make it more appealing. It was a long (and expensive) list.

While the house is cute, the front elevation or the exterior, is bland. I asked the plans for the outside and was told they had none – it would stay the same.

This is a huge mistake. The outside of a home draws the buyer inside. Buyers driving by a home are 100% more likely to go inside if they feel the home is attractive and inviting.

Front doors, lovely colors, decorator touches. Home decorating is not just for the inside of a home anymore.

Thinking of selling? Let me help you get your whole house ready…not just the interior.

I love it.

The couple, free of the decor restraints imposed by landlords, started customizing almost every inch of the 3,100-square-foot space.
