Make potential buyers feel welcomed before they even get inside the house, do this by creating an inviting front porch or front door area. You can create this even if you have just a front stoop. Begin by cleaning the entire area, making sure it is free of dirt and cob webs. Next, re-paint the front door if necessary. Finally, add a new door mat, and a colorful container of blooming plants next to the door. Check to make sure the house numbers are visible from the street and that the front door light fixture is in working order. It should always be turned on for open houses and all showings.
