OUTDOOR PREPARATION TIPS

• Tidy your yard. Cut the grass, rake leaves, trim the bushes and edge the walk. Put a pot or two of bright flowers near the front entrance.
• Patch holes in your driveway and reapply sealant, if applicable.
• Clean your gutters.
• Make sure the driveway, walkway, porches and steps are well lit and clear of snow and ice at all times.
• A display of photo of the garden and trees in summertime will let the buyer see the house in its summertime splendor.
