You only have one chance to make a first impression! Is yours going to be " Lets call to see this one" or "Lets pass on this one"?

Drive by your home.  Be objective.  If you can't be objective, ask a friend to help.  Look at your house.

Does it need to be painted or pressure washed?

Is the driveway clean?

Are there spiderwebs and wasp nests?

Are the windows clean?

How's the landscaping? Does it need sprucing up? Does the lawn need to be cut? Do you need to use an edger on the sidewalks and driveways?Do the flower beds need cleaning up?  Should you add some color?

       sold  Does your front door need painting?  Is it inviting someone to come in?

                                               Look at your porches and decks.  Do they need cleaning ?

                                               Look at your fences, driveways and sidewalks.

                                               Are there lots of toys and other items in the yard?
