Farrow & Ball Spring Collection

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home and increase its curb appeal. It's also peak listing season, a time to check out what the highest priced homes in your area have done to enhance their home sale.

Here are the five must-do tasks recommended by top listing agents at Abode West real to help you spruce up your property this season:

1. Paint or Touch Up Trim: A fresh coat of paint on your front door, touching up chipped trim, or switching up colors in your favorite room can dramatically improve your home’s appearance. Choose colors that complement your home as well as your own personal aesthetic.

   
   

2. Enhance Your Landscaping: Trim overgrown bushes, plant colorful flowers, and mulch garden beds to create a vibrant and inviting landscape.

3. Clean and Maintain the Exterior: Power wash your siding, windows, and walkways to remove dirt and grime. A good scrub down can do wonders for your exterior, and make your property look new again.

   
   

4. Update Outdoor Lighting: Replace outdated fixtures with modern designs to enhance safety and aesthetics. Well-lit entryways are welcoming and can deter intruders. And an outdated entry can deter future buyers.

   
   

5. Declutter and Stage Outdoor Spaces: Clear away any clutter from porches and patios. Consider investing in outdoor, weather resistant, buffet tables for organizing. For older patio furniture, fresh paint or restaining is the best bang for your buck, as well as a fresh set of cushions and decorative pillows.
