Even though winter often does not have the best weather, it is still necessary to keep the outside neat and clean.  Although, winter tends to be a slower real estate market, there are still many potential buyers out there.  Don’t let a messy driveway and sidewalk deter potential buyers from seeing your home.  Keep the driveway and sidewalks free from branches and leaves. Provide a receptacle for wet umbrellas near the front door and both indoor and outdoor mats for wiping wet feet. Potential buyers will feel welcomed in your home and have a positive first impression.
