It’s frustrating if a potential buyer doesn’t like the looks of the outside of your house. Stand on the curb and look at your house objectively. Walk up to the door and see if there is anything that would look unattractive or disturbing if you were considering buying this house. Take care of the following outdoor things:

• Landscape to enhance instead of hide the property.
• Repair the driveway.
• Clean the garage and keep the door closed until the buyer goes to inspect it.
• Trim and edge the lawn and make sure to remove all debris.
• Replace damaged paving blocks on walkways and repair damaged fencing.
• Make sure the front entrance sparkles. Scrub it or paint it if needed.
• Take care of broken doorbells, creaky hinges, ripped screens, cracked windowpanes or chipping and peeling paint. These are signs of poor maintenance that might scare a potential buyer off.
• Remove any objects lying around the exterior of the home including children’s toys and garden tools.
• Sweep the driveway.
• Trim the shrubbery. Even in winter it can start to look unkempt.
• If you can’t afford to paint the whole house, give the trim and shutters a new coat
