You only get one chance to make a good first impression. When everything inside and outside of the house is in perfect repair, buyers will think your house is obviously well cared for.

- Edge the grass around walkways and trees.
- Stow your garden tools and hoses out of sight, and clear kids’ toys from the lawn.
- Buy a new mailbox.
- Upgrade your outdoor lighting.
- Purchase a new doormat for outside your front door.
- Clean your windows, inside and out.
