Gutter Extension Camouflage
I usually associate “staging” with the inside of a home.

But, when it comes to selling a house, few things matter more than curb appeal, and a key ingredient of curb appeal is landscaping — specifically, in front of the home.
Ergo, the advice my stager gave to a Southwest Minneapolis client this Spring to invest about $1,000 in new shrubs, edging, and mulch — and to swap out the white gutter extensions for less conspicuous brown.
Good advice: the home sold in multiple offers, for $20k over the asking price.
