 Number three, make every buyer fall in love with your house from the outside in. Curb appeal is huge in real estate. So try a fresh pot of colorful flowers on your porch. Hang a bright wreath on the front door and lay out a welcome mat. Trim the bushes, mow the grass, and throw down some new mulch. It'll really make your yard pop. So once your yard is gorgeous, it's time to move inside.
