Making a Good First Impression

The first thing a buyer is going to see when they walk up to your house is the front entrance, so you want it to make a strong impression.

Remove any seasonal decorations, which can date a house in both pictures and during viewings. If you have a front stoop, consider power washing it, or at least scrubbing off any dirt.

Then add a touch of hominess with a simple doormat and perhaps a potted plant or two, provided the are in perfect condition (a dead or dying plant will do you no favors). Keep the space simple but welcoming to start buyers off on the right foot and suggest good things to come inside.
