Tips on selling your home from the curb.

Prospective buyers make up their minds about your house even before they get out of the car. To create positive energy, clean up your yard, edge your gardens, remove weeds, prune the over-grown shrubs, rake the leaves, shovel the snow and sweep driveways and porches. Get out the rags and cleaners and spend a half hour scouring your front door, porch, railings and steps. Then tuck away all your recycling boxes and bins at the back of the house. It isn't attractive to have anything on the front porch or walkway that doesn't belong. So remove all the shoes, boxes, bikes and replace with nice planters and lounge chairs if you have the room.
