Hey Baltimore House Flippers.
I don’t do many driveways, but lately it seems I have purchased more houses in need of driveway repair than in any other time during my illustrious investing career. It’s all about curb appeal right? So when a potential buyer drives up to the house what’s the first thing they’re gonna see? My guess…the house, then the driveway.
Given the immense and amazing rehabs we do on the inside of the house, how much weight can a crappy driveway really carry in terms of swaying the buyer’s decision? Honestly, I have no idea. I do know however what I like. And, I like a good looking brand new driveway. So if you’re in the Baltimore area, and you need a driveway, a cement deck or sidewalk, pavers….etc… you have to call my man Ernie Stanley of E.S.A. Paving.
See the video below of Ernie’s (but I paid for it) sweet new driveway. The house goes on the market next week so stay tuned for all the pictures and video. Give Ernie a call. He’s a good guy and his crew is phenomenal.

I have had 2 properties collect dust on the market in the last year because I opted not to replace the driveway from the get go….after pulling the houses off the market and replacing the driveway's (after listening to feedback) we had them pending in a matter of a few days at full price. So I would definately advocate for replacing driveways that are in need of some luv.
@Tucker. Thanks for your comments Tucker. I'm with ya 100%. I'll let you know how this one goes, as we prepare to list it shortly.
You must have heard me thinking out loud.
Allendale has that two tire treds crap and I WAS (past tense) going to keep it that way. Guess I have to tweak the budget..again. If you don't mind sharing, how many sqft was the driveway and what was the price paid.
