During the summer selling months, sellers' home-showing activity seems to slow with the heat, but really what happens is that buyers' traffic is actually increasing. The typical first step is for potential new owners to drive by your home to get a sense of the property's curb appeal.
Here are our favorite ideas for embracing the summer sunshine to enhance your home's curb appeal!
Front Door: Give your front door a fresh coat of color or sealer to make the door pop at first glance. Place a summer wreath on the door and flowers or vases on the steps to enhance the entrance.
Landscaping: Mow the lawn, trim the shrubs and plant some flowers. Any outdoor furniture should create the illusion of an added room. If the home can be viewed from the water, decks should be stained, the dock should be level, and the beach area clean.
Windows: Designing with white in mind is one of my favorite ways to channel summer. It brightens everything in the house and also provides a cooling effect on those hot temperatures. Just hang white curtains, open the window, and feel that nice summer breeze!
Go with the Summer Flow into the Evening: From the road, have solar lights leading to your home's entrance and place a low level spot light on a focal tree in the yard. From the water, add lighting on the dock, and enhance the lighting in the great room.
We then use quality photography and inviting descriptions to create an online presence to entice buyers into making an appointment to view your home. The goal is to create such a sense of urgency that a buyer will want to make an appointment before someone else scoops up the property from under them!
Not everyone has the touch of a landscape designer. Ask for help! Our team would be happy to stop by your home and offer our ideas on what to do. We can be reached at 603-566-6608.

America's best lake: And the winner is...
By Laura Bly, USA TODAY
Tahoe - North America's largest and most popular alpine lake, a place Mark Twain once called "the fairest picture the whole earth affords" - is the champion in USA TODAY's recent survey. The poll generated more than 5,000 votes via Facebook and Twitter.
Michigan's Lake Charlevoix was runner-up among a field of 15 finalists nominated by regional magazine editors, with strong support for Alabama's Lake Martin, Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks and North Carolina's Lake Lure plus a sizeable number of votes for New York's Blue Mountain Lake, New Hampshire's Newfound Lake and Washington's Crescent Lake.
While we took some heat for ignoring the five Great Lakes, our intention was to spotlight some of the USA's smaller, less famous summer getaways.
So much for that idea: The winner, notes nominator Peter Fish , straddles the California-Nevada border and "draws a gazillion - that's what it feels like on a weekend, anyway" tourists who use it as a summer escape hatch."
But, Fish adds, Tahoe is "too stunning not to be experienced" - a sentiment echoed by aficionados like Dick Goodrick, a former Michigander who now lives in Dayton, Nev.
"The Sierra Mountains around Lake Tahoe clinch the deal," wrote Goodrick. "Year-round recreation, skiing, hiking, casinos, mountain bike riding, fishing, wake boarding, sailing on big boats, paddle wheel dinner/cruise boats, clear deep blue water, spawning salmon, zip-lining, historic homes to visit, and much more. No lake can match it."
As a former Southern Californian, I'm no stranger to Tahoe's multiple joys - and although I admit I'd rather listen to the call of a lonely loon than commune with a "gazillion" fellow admirers, I'm looking forward to revisiting some old haunts and discovering new ones for a story and photos that will appear in USA TODAY Travel on Aug. 10.
