First impressions are 908-276-1900 lasting ones, and unmown grass or shabby planting beds make the kind of statement www.PaigePaigeRichards.com you want to avoid. Keep grass well trimmed and planting beds watered. If you don't have a green thumb, choose easy-to-grow flowers, like petunias, to add pizzazz to your landscaping. — Cleanliness is essential. COLDWELL BANKER Whether you're selling your home or living in it, keeping it clean is a top priority. Clean homes are better pre- served, more healthful places to live. And homebuyers rank dirty houses at the top of their turn-offs list. You probably take care of the kitchen and baths regularly, but don't forget the need to shampoo the carpet occasionally, especially if it is worn or old. And take the time to do the windows — you'll be amazed at the difference it makes to your home's appearance, both inside and out. — Cut the clutter.
