Sometimes the outside of a home can make or break a sale.  Often if a home is unappealing from the outside someone may not even want to enter a home to see it.  If you are trying to sell your home consider sprucing up the exterior and making it as pleasing as possible to both the passersby and the potential home buyer.  Often if your neighbor knows your house is for sale he might pass the word more freely if he likes what he sees.

Here are some suggestions that are both inexpensive and easy.

·    Make it green. The greener your lawn is the more lush and healthy it looks.  Fertilize your grass and give it the nutrients it needs.

·    Trim trees and shrubbery. The neater your trees and shrubs look, the neater your home looks.  Make sure nothing is wild and overgrown looking, you want your prospective buyer to feel that you take pride in your home.

·    Mulch your beds. Mulch makes flower beds and tree beds a nicer appearance.

·    Edge the beds. Edging will neaten up the appearance of your beds.

·    Powerwash your home's siding, sidewalks and patios. Power washing gets rid of all the winter dirt and freshens your home up.

·    Plant annuals. Lots of different vibrant flowers will brighten up your home.

·    Plant a garden. Green is in and nothing is more environmentally friendly than eating what you grow.

•    Hang a hammock. It suggests life is easy.
