Nobody will give your house a first look, let alone a second, if they don’t like what they see when they drive by − they’ll just keep driving. Most foreclosures don’t have to worry about this, they’re selling cheap enough that prospective buyers will have plenty of money left over for a quick, professional cleanup, a coat of paint, professional landscaping and a good decorator.

You on the other hand, aren’t selling your home for such a considerably low price. You have to make your house stand out in the best way possible. You have to make your house stand out, even from the other houses on your street; even from houses that aren’t even on the market!

Clean up your lawn! Trim that tree, manicure those bushes, pull up those weeds and, for the love of all that is good in this world, mow it! Before you mow, though, be sure little Johnny picks up his outside toys; and make sure he keeps them picked up when he’s not playing with them. If you have a flower bed, plant flowers in colors that compliment the house. If you don’t have a flower bed, there’s never been a better time. It’s spring and the ground is fresh. Go to Home Depot, rent a tiller, buy some flowers and landscape timbers, talk to the people there and learn how to get your garden growing. Then, do it.
