Pay attention to first impressions.

Landscaping cleanup is a must!

Create a memorable entry.

Starting from the front door, create a positive experience. It is worth replacing or repainting quality hardware. This is what buyers remember when leaving too! Imagine what draws you off the sidewalk to your favorite retail store.

Set the stage.

Freshen planters and entry mats.

Do an interior review.

Minimize interior objects and personal items. Rearrange and remove furniture to allow guests to experience the space and walk up to view windows. 95% of agents recommend decluttering a home before putting it on the market.

Illuminate beautiful sections and anything architecturally interesting.

Make sure these aren’t hidden from buyers!

Naturally remove odors.

Never replace odors with chemical scents, strong candles, or plug-ins.
