Attracting Attention Outside Take as much time as necessary (and as little money as possible) to maximize your home’s exterior appeal: Ⅲ Dress up the front door with a new welcome mat or potted plants. Ⅲ Clean up the front and back yards by removing any toys, decorations, debris or broken tree limbs. Ⅲ Sharpen the mower blade for a cleaner cut and better looking lawn to help get top dollar when selling your home. Ⅲ Closely inspect the hardware around your house. Things like doorbells, house numbers, guttering and mail- boxes should be in good repair and have a fresh coat of paint. Ⅲ Add or update landscape lighting and consider easy-to-install solar options. In addition to providing safe- ty and security, lighting can add attractive accents to walking paths and plantings. Ⅲ Punch up your landscape with color. Remove any dead or withered plants and fill in bare spots with large, blooming annuals. Ⅲ Make sure the driveway and side- walks are free of cracks or crumbling concrete. Ⅲ Nothing makes an older house look new again like a fresh coat of paint. Repair any rotting wood, caulk win- dows, spruce up wood trim and then update the color of your home.
