We want to help you get the most money for your house, when you decide it's time to sell. Follow our 11-point system to make your home more valuable.

You'll never get a second chance to make a good first impression! Start with the outside - the first thing that prospective buyers see. Make sure the lawn is trimmed and edged, the flower beds are free of leaves, weeds and grass and if it's winter, be sure the snow/ice have been removed from the driveway, walkway and steps.

Your front door welcomes the prospect...A door decoration adds a warm, inviting touch.

Decorating helps assure top dollar and a quick sale...A little Liquid Gold does wonders for scratched and dry-looking wood.

Clean windows show the bright side of your home...Let the prospective buyers see how cheerful your home can be!

A clean kitchen is a must...Many buyers judge the housekeeping by the oven and stove.

Sparkling bathrooms help sell your home...Spic-and-span throughout is the way to judge the bathrooms.

Avoid cluttered appearances...Perhaps now is the time to plan a garage sale!

Make the closets look as large as possible...Remove or pack items that can be stored elsewhere.

From top to bottom...Remove all unnecessary items.

Check major appliances...A little correction could be worth many dollars.

Minor flaws suggest neglect to the prospect...Have them fixed to get top dollar for your house.
