A home that's visually appealing and in good condition will attract potential buyers driving down the street. Use this checklist to view your property through an outsider's eyes.

• Are the lawn and shrubs well maintained?

• Are there cracks in the foundation or walkways?

• Does the driveway need resurfacing?

• Are the gutters, chimney and walls in good condition?

• Do the window casings, shutters, siding or doors need painting?

• Are garbage and debris stored out of sight?

• Are lawn mowers and hoses preperly stored?

• Is the garage door closed?

Remember: Strong curb appeal will lure potential buyers inside. But once they are inside, make sure the interior lives up to their expectations. Remove unnecessary clutter from the garage, basement, attic and closets. Also remove any items that might make a statement that would be offensive to others who may not share your same views, beliefs, or sense of humor.
