Summer is the perfect season to highlight your outdoor spaces if you are selling your home. Make the most of outdoor entertaining decks and terraces, gardens, the swimming pool and spa.  If you have an outdoor fireplace, set up chairs and side table in front of it, put a champagne bucket and two glasses on the table. Set-up the pool area, as if it were a resort with lounge chairs, plush beach towels and blooming plants in containers. Let potential buyers know how you use these spaces, so they can easily picture themselves in this space.
