Nikki - I think your tips work equally well for both new and veteran agents. Sometimes simple and easy things can be the most effective, but often go overlookded because agents think that it has to be complicated to be effective.
Keep Lawn Mowed. For example, mowing a yard regularly to have it look like the best kept yard is super easy to do and has a huge impact as it relates to visual appeal.
Declutter Rooms.The less stuff in a room the better. The last time I sold a house I rented a storage space for about $60.00 a month. Basically, I cleared the rooms and closets of items that tended to make rooms look small and clostes stuffed.
Baked Goodies. I have the pleasant memory of walking into the same house mentioned above as a buyer at he time, seeing the openness of the house and smelling cookies. I knew right then and there that I was going to buy it...and I did.
Flowers and Other Pretty Things.Interestingly enough I did ll of the things you mentioned...fresh flowers around the mailbox, blooming plants in the flower beds, etc.
To make a long story short I decided to raise the price by approximately $30,0000 after making those simple changes and got it!
