Selling Tip: Straighten up

INTERVIEW BY LAURA MANN

April 27, 2007

"Before showing your property, straighten up and remove any items that detract from the natural beauty of your yard, like children's toys and garden or lawn equipment. Get rid of an unsightly aboveground pool, and remove woodpiles, especially if they are old and unusable."
