Maintain Your Curb Appeal
• Sweep the front walkway. If it’s winter and you live in a cold climate, shovel snow and clean away ice. (You would not have this problem if you lived in Orlando)
• Mow the lawn and plant flowers. Though neutral is key on the
inside, you can afford to be bold with color in the garden.
• Remove newspapers, bikes and toys. A shiny swing set is fine;
rusty ones should be eliminated.
• Park extra cars away from the property.
• Make sure sprinklers and other exterior plumbing are in
working order.
• Clean windows and screens. A mix of ammonia and water will
make windowpanes sparkle.
• Touch up any peeling paint on the body and trim of your house. If
the exterior seems more dirty than worn, rent a pressure washer
from a tool center and hose down all outside surfaces.
• Replace broken gutters, loose downspouts and missing or torn
roof shingles.
• Fix cracks in the driveway and entry walkway. Asphalt sealant
from a building-supply store and a stiff broom makes this a
relatively easy do-it-yourself job.
• Reseal the deck or porch.

Question: What to do with an outdated kitchen?
Answer: Worried about an outdated kitchen bringing down your house’s market value? Give it a face-lift. Cabinet refacing is one of many easy, inexpensive ways to take buyers’ attention away from less-than-new appliances and bring a healthy new look to your kitchen.
Have questions? email Risa at questions@risa.net or call her at 1-800-699-4901
Make sure cabinets are in decent shape first; cabinets in older homes are generally of higher quality than those in newer homes. If you can’t afford refacing, repaint cabinet doors with a light color. Replacing drawer pulls and door handles can also transform outdated cabinets. Hide nicks on enamel appliances with appliance touch-up enamel, then polish them with a soft cloth and auto body polish. If you have once-popular-colored appliances — in shades like avocado or coppertone — have them refinished in white for about $200 per appliance
