When selling your home in the spring time, bring some of the outdoors in.  Spring comes with many nice fragrances; bring one into your home.  Scents have an effect on mood and can change the overall feel of an indoor space.  Bring scents in with fresh cut flowers, plants or candles.  Buyers can be sensitive to smells, so check with your realtor before selecting scents for the indoors.
