How does your home look from the street? Is the yard neat and well landscaped? Are the trash cans out of site? Are the kid’s toys out of the way? For only a few dollars and some hard work you can make your home look good from the street. How does the home look close up from the outside? Does your home need new paint on the outside? Are the windows clean? Is anything growing out of the gutters? If your home needs paint then paint it. The cost of painting your home is well worth the value it adds to your home. Take a look around the outside of your home and look with a critical eye. If you can't pay to have something done then do it yourself.

Do you smell any odors? Get your neighbor to go inside with you. Ask them what their concerns are. Is your home perfectly clean? I mean spotless. Are your personal items put away?
