Mowed lawns, trimmed shrubbery
and clean windows are a start.
Planting a few flowers or plants can do a lot to a front yard.
Fertilize and water the lawn and plants thoroughly 2-3 weeks
before putting the house on the market.
Clean up oil spots on the driveway. Make sure the garage door
opens easily.
Swimming pools should be clean along with the pump and filters.
Clean up and throw away any junk or items laying around the
yard.
Now is a good time to have a yard sale, get rid of those items
that you don't plan
to take with you. Do this before you put your house on the
market to greatly reduce the "detrimental clutter look".
Start packing away little things that you don't use everyday.
Recycle magazines, newspapers, bottles, cans and so on.
Pet droppings can easily turn the buyer back to the front door.
