We all know that curb appeal is one of the easiest ways to boost home equity.
Recently, one of my clients asked how to add curb appeal on a very slim budget.
Here’s what I suggested:
1. Fertilize your grass every 6 weeks with w**d and feed.
2. Trim back bushes and trees from your windows and roof.
3. Add colorful flowerpots or hanging baskets to your front porch.
And you’ll probably be able to do all that on 100.00 or less!
Have fun adding big dollars to your equity on a very slim budget!

By the way... the Vandael Properties cover photo is from one of my most favorite listings I've ever sold. The aspect is amazing with panoramic views of the San Clemente Pier, the white-water waves, the sandy beach, and teal blue ocean as far as your eye can see. Just thought you'd enjoy knowing where this little slice of Orange County paradise is found. 😎
