Power-wash and seal, stain or paint<br />
decks and porches. Also check gutters<br />
and downspouts to make sure they are<br />
clear and working properly.<br />
Make sure that all exterior lights<br />

Add mulch to planting beds and<br />

Renovations<br />
If you need major improvements or<br />
renovations, do them before you put<br />
the house on the market. The average<br />
buyer simply doesn’t want to deal<br />
with extra work, and with the supply<br />
beyond demand of houses available in<br />

Locked down<br />
Finally, make sure you give your Realtor<br />
the OK to use a lockbox. Without<br />
a lockbox, Realtors are forced to set appointments<br />
with you to see the house<br />
– and that can be very inconvenient for<br />
everyone. Your listing contract usually<br />
specifies whether you allow a lockbox,<br />
so to avoid missing out on selling opportunities,<br />
most Realtors will recommend<br />
that you have one on your<br />
house.<br />
Trust me … following these tips will<br />
increase your chances to sell the home<br />
more quickly. For more helpful information<br />
