Focus on the Front
To increase the curb appeal of your home, try making changes around the front door. Here are my top 10 ideas for increasing the value of your entry way. These before and after photos are of the front door of my recent $1,725,000 listing at 3210 Braemar Drive. I helped prepare this property for sale. See if you can spot all of the changes.

- Remove the screen door
- Refinish the front door – in this case we re-glazed it – an advanced technique
- Change the light fixture
- Change the doorbell switch to match the other hardware
- Paint the trim around the door
- Remove the doorknocker

Other items we often suggest:

Make these changes before you need to sell, and see how much more you enjoy your home. There is a lot to staging, so give me a call – (805) 451-9300.
