    During the night be sure that the porch and paths are well light. The use of Illuminated address numbers adds a great touch to welcome the evening buyers.


  • Porch and Patio
  • Nothing is more welcoming than a few potted plants, a decorative doormat, or matching porch furniture. Use the space as best you can and keep it simple. Remember not to clutter or overfill entrance.

  • Counters and Floors make a Difference
  • There is nothing more satisfying the sparkle and shine of clean surfaces. From the countertops to the floors, polish every inch you can. This is one of the best and cheapest ways to make your house glow, a little elbow grease goes a long way.


  • Rooms and Furniture Arrangements and Decor
