Here’s a curb appeal trick that works surprisingly well: take a photo of your house from across the street.
Looking at the photo 📸 instead of the house itself makes visual clutter much easier to notice.
A few things to look for:
✓ Can you clearly see the house numbers?
✓ Is anything blocking the front door or walkway?
✓ Do hoses, bins or tools draw your eye?
✓ Are there dead plants or empty planters?
✓ Does the entry still look welcoming after dark?
It’s basically the 10-second buyer test... and it can reveal things you stopped noticing a long time ago.
