13 Ways to Catch Eyes with Curb Appeal

Follow these simple guidelines to maintain the value of your property

In today’s competitive real estate environment, the curb appeal of your building is extremely important, just as it is in the residential market. Your commercial property is a direct reflection of you and your company. In any business, you need to always be thinking, “What distinguishes ME from my competitors?”

 

Here are some guidelines to consider:

  1. Make sure the parking area is kept clean and well-lit.
  2. If there is any landscaping, keep it neat and manicured. Plant additional seasonal plants.
  3. Make sure the exterior of the building is clean. Pressure wash if/when necessary.
  4. Keep the lobby orderly and maintained.
  5. Bathrooms should be kept clean and fully supplied.
  6. Carpets should be clean and replaced, if necessary.
  7. Keep hard floors swept and free of debris.
  8. Make sure all lights are in working order.
  9. Walls should be free of damage. Repaint if necessary.
  10. Furnished offices should be laid out like they are being used.
  11. Replace any damaged or dirty ceiling tiles.
  12. Regularly clean all windows, inside and out.
  13. Place trash receptacles in strategic areas.

 

Investing in your curb appeal will directly increase your bottom line, meaning higher rents or a higher sales price. Like always, if you have questions about what you can do to increase your bottom line, feel free to contact me by email or phone.
