A first impression is everything. When a prospective buyer sees the first picture of your home or drives into your driveway, there’s an immediate impression and “feeling” that they have. Is it excitement? Warmth? Being impressed? Or is it doubtful? Skeptical? Are they already creating a list of things that are wrong? Your curb appeal and outside of your home is essential.
When we say curb-appeal, people can get overwhelmed or say “I’m not a gardener.” Well, I’m not either. But, there are small, affordable things you can do to make a large impact. Even if you’re not thinking about selling, still do it. That way if the time ever comes to sell, then you’re ready!
This is our 5 part Tip Tuesday series in which we’ll be sharing small improvements to have a large impact.

Depending on your budget and style there are many different options to transform your window wells.
