You have only one chance to make a first impression. Your home only has one chance also. When putting your property on the market, consider some of the following points:

Landscaping
Does the landscaping add to or detract from its appearance? Does the landscaping dwarf the house itself? Is is overgrown or out-of-date? Is it appropriately trimmed and maintained? These factors have a big impact on your property's appearance and its impact on passerby.

Paved Areas
Is the paving in good repair? If not, potential buyers may avoid a property that will require costly repairs that really don't improve its value. If the paved areas are asphalt instead of concrete, have they been sealed recently?

Windows
Are the windows inviting or a detraction to your home's appearance? Are they antiquated or current with today's styles? Are they trimmed with the proper window coverings for your price range?

Front Door
Is the front door inviting and in keeping with the style of the house, It should be clean and in excellent shape. It is, after all., the fist thing everybody sees.

Gutters/Downspouts
People usually notice the condition of gutters and downspouts. Have they been cleaned out recently? Are they rusting and in need of repair or replacement?

Look at your home through the critical eyes of a buyer.
