1. Mow the lawn, trim the bushes, pull weeds and lightly mulch the flowerbeds
2. Purchase a new doormat.
3. Add a bright pot of flowers (or even a small evergreen in winter) on your front porch.
4. Replace any old, tarnished doorknobs on your doors and polish or replace your house numbers.
5. Power-wash your driveway, sidewalk, and the exterior siding of your home.
6. Wash your windows. 
7. Add a new mailbox or paint your old one (if allowed by HOA)
8. Upgrade the outdoor lighting for a feeling of safety ( buyers drive by your home at night too)
