Buyers decide how they feel about your house in the first ten seconds. That's it. Ten.
And they're not looking at your square footage yet. They're standing at your front door.
Three things I check at every listing before a photo gets taken:
The front door: clean, fresh paint, lock that turns smooth.
The smell, not candles. Just clean.
The light: every blind open, every lamp on.
None of it costs much. All of it sets the tone for the whole showing.
Sellers, what's the one thing you'd dread doing before you list? 👀
