  1. Brighten it up – Whether it’s colorful outdoor pillows, hanging flower baskets, or some extra greenery, a bright first impression will instantly make potential buyers feel more welcome.
  2. Make them see the memories – By adding some rocking chairs or a porch swing, you will remind buyers of times growing up with their families and allow them to imagine making new memories.
  3. Add a ceiling fan – Building on the memories, adding a ceiling fan allows potential buyers to imagine evenings on the front porch without the threat of overbearing heat and humidity.
