Potential buyers begin forming opinions about your home, as soon as they pull up to the curb. Give them every reason to form a positive opinion and come into the home to see the rest. First make sure it is easy to see the house numbers from the street and that everything is well it in the evening. Keep the driveway and sidewalks clean.  Make the front entry welcoming with a freshly painted front door with a seasonal wreath. Add a new doormat and a container of colorful blooming plants by the front door. Potential buyers will begin forming a positive opinion as soon as they arrive.
