BUILD COMMUNITY

INSTALL NEW DOORS

If you’re looking for a way to increase the value of your property, don’t overlook the impact of that first impression. A great way to do that is to replace your garage door, entry door or both. These are the first things you see when pulling up to a home. A well-selected new garage door and entry door will instantly: • Boost curb appeal and attract potential tenants/buyers • Welcome visitors • Add color

As rents have increased, tenants seem to expect more than just a living space. They want to feel a sense of neighborhood and camaraderie, not a place to simply eat and sleep. My suggestion is that landlords make every effort to offset the situation by prioritizing the building of community within the property. Aside from the obvious summertime holiday barbecues and pool parties, the following are activities that have proven successful in multifamily complexes: • Charity fundraisers • A summer music series • Add fitness classes, a lounge area, and a juice bar to the fitness center • Create a garden area where residents can plant flowers and vegetables Become more intentional and less routine when considering ways to build a sense of community at your property. Poll your tenants to learn what they would like to have available. Creatively improving the lives of people who call your property home will attract and keep good tenants while increasing the value of your property.

• Increase energy efficiency • Improve safety and security

OUTDATED DOORS DETRACT FROM ALL THAT YOUR HOME MAY HAVE TO OFFER.

They’re an essential part of your home’s exterior and old worn, outdated doors detract from all that your home may have to offer. Whether you’re planning to sell your property soon or you simply want to enhance its curb appeal, replacing one or both doors is a simple change that will transform your home and increase its value.
