"Sellers, pay attention! Buyers judge your home in the first 60 seconds. Here's what they're looking at. 1. The front door. Tired paint, an overgrown yard? They're wondering what else you've neglected. 2. Smell. Don't mask it with air fresheners. Buyers know. Clean the carpets, wash the pet bedding, and air the house out. 3. Light. Turn on every single lamp and open all the curtains. Brighter homes feel bigger. Period. And 4. The small stuff. A dripping faucet or burned-out bulb makes buyers question everything they can't see.
