    * Can the clutter. Pack up knickknacks, pictures, piles of paper and furniture that makes the place look crowded.
    * Let the light in. Take down any heavy drapes.
    * Scrub-a-dub-dub. Shampoo soiled carpets, Scrub the front door. Repaint scuffed walls. Tidy up the lawn and trim the shrubs.
    * Get moving on the “honey do” list. Fix everything that is in need of repair.
    * Enhance the view. Erect a fence or plant shrubbery to improve or obscure the view of unattractive nearby properties or streets.
    * Try weeknights. Holding an open house on Wednesday may attract a different crowd.
    * Ask for criticism. Consult with buyers’ agents for their feedback.
    * Send the owners away. Ask them to vacate when potential buyers come around so they can talk freely.
    * Rent to own. Give a potential buyer a little credit .Becoming a landlord may keep you from having to shoulder two mortgages.
    * Drop the asking price. And figure out the lowest amount you’re willing or able to accept.
