Selling a house: Make your house pleasant to be in, so that the prospective buyer will have a positive experience. Use some kind of air-freshener (don't over-do the fragrance), and make everything neat and tidy. ^[guest]

First impressions: Make sure visitors can easily read your house number. Pay particular attention to the front door. Polish the door fixture so it gleams. If the door needs refinishing or repainting, make sure to get that done. And make sure that the key works properly in the lock, as you don't want to frustrate people before they enter your house. ^[guest]

Plants: Plant yellow flowers or group flower pots together. Yellow evokes a buying emotion. Marigolds are inexpensive. ^[guest]

Avoid clutter: The house should not be devoid of furniture, plants, and wall-hangings, but it should definitely not be cluttered with all the things of your life. The potential buyer needs to be able to see what potential the space might have. The house should look welcoming, but at the same time it should look like nobody lives there. ^{Kevin Solway (173)}

Features: Try to enhance the best external features of the house, and minimize or improve the worst features. ^{Kevin Solway (173)}

Kitchen and bathroom: These need to be in clean and attractive condition. Women in particular can be very choosy when it comes to these areas. ^{Kevin Solway (173)}

Disconnect your emotions: Consider that you have already moved out of the house, and that it is now your professional job to sell it. ^{Kevin Solway (173)}

Leaks: Make sure there are no roofing or plumbing leaks. If there are, don't be surprised to hear from the buyer's lawyers down the track. ^{Kevin Solway (173)}
