June 21st, 2007 by Lyn Spicer

Do not mask bad smells with deordizers - get rid of the cause
Do not have more than 3 different types of flooring in your house
Use size-appropriate furniture
A new doormat can create an inviting feeling to buyers.
Clean carpets or drapes that need it.
Clean windows.
Clear all unnecessary objects from the kitchen count
Coordinate towels to one or two colors only in your bathrooms
Clean all gutters
Weed and then mulch all planting areas
Keep plants from blocking windows
Check paint condition of the house — especially the front door and trim
Go around the perimeter of the house and move all garbage cans, discarded wood scraps, extra building materials, etc.,
Ensure cupboards open and shut and that no taps are dripping
Appliances should sparkle even if you’re not including them with the house
Open some windows for at least 10 minutes - let in some fresh air
Don’t forget fresh flowers. You don’t need to spend a fortune to have fresh flowers throughout your home. Even a daisy in a bud vase brightens a bathroom counter
