Positive First Impressions Through Curb Appeal
What is your first impression when you see a yard that is not well kept? What if this home had five-foot-tall weeds in the front yard? Are you going to be excited to see this home? You might have been at first until you drive up to that home.
What was your experience when you drove up to a home that had a well-maintained front yard? You probably are going to keep that excitement as you walk through the front door.
