Create Drive-Up Appeal

• Have your lawn manicured and the shrubs neatly trimmed.
• A few flowers placed close to the front door create a warm and inviting impression.
• Be certain that the walkway is kept clean and repairs are made to window screens, broken glass window panes and damaged hardware on the front door.

Provide A Light, Inviting Space

• Additionally, turn on lamps and accent lighting and be certain that all light bulbs are working. A light, bright room is an inviting place to enter.

Make Necessary Repairs

• Deodorize areas that are used for pets or smoking.
• Make certain that all plumbing is in good working order and check doors, drawers and sliding glass doors for easy operation.
• Consider painting a dreary room with a light, neutral tone to make it fresh and more appealing.

Eliminate Clutter

• Avoid a crowded look in your home by removing excess furniture and unnecessary items.
• Clean out closets and remove unnecessary items that may make a closet look as though it is not large enough.
• Neatly arrange stored boxes and cartons in the garage and attic area.

Decorate Living Areas

• Place some green plants or a bowl of fruit as decoration.
• Create a cozy atmosphere in the kitchen by displaying place mats and cup towels.
• Add some scented soaps or candles in the bathrooms.
• Play some soft relaxing music for prospective buyers as they view your home.
