In a seller’s market, like the one Colorado is experiencing right now, investing in your curb appeal may mean more money in your pocket.

Curb appeal is the first impression a buyer will experience before an in-person visit. The cosmetic look of a homes exterior sets an initial expectation for what will be found inside. If nothing else, your homes exterior may determine whether a buyer even wants to make a visit.
