Sell that home quicker! Tips for agents & sellers to bump up that curb appeal.

In the slow market, sellers need to do everything possible to help get their home looked at. Here are some basic tips.

1. Beware of grand gestures: Exterior improvements should be in keeping with the scale and proportion of your house and fit in with the neighborhood. So as lovely as a formal colonnade might look on the front of your boxy Colonial Revival, it may seem over the top when viewed in context with the home next door.

2. Don't stand out like a spore thumb: When picking paint colors, it's best to match the intensity of your neighbors shades. If pale blues are the norm, try creamy yellow. Contrast that with a more saturated accent color for shutters and doors, and a lighter one for windows and trim. 

3. Be a tree hugger: If an old palm is obscuring the front yard of your home, don't cut it down. Hire an arborist to trim it instead. Eighty-three percent of REALTORS say that mature trees enhance the value of a home.

4. You can have too much of a good thing: Over-improving your home can mean recouping less of the cost when it comes time to sell. gauge how much to spend on renovations by checking the home values to see what gussied-up homes are going for in your community, and stay under their bar.

5. Do sweat the small stuff: New house numbers, a special light fixture, and potted plants are inexpensive and go a long way toward dressing up an entry.
