Regardless of the time of year, the front door area should be presentable. Begin by cleaning the area up. Next, give the front door a fresh coat of paint or stain, if necessary. Then give the area a pop with a fresh doormat and colorful container of blooming fall plants. Colorful fall plants include mums, kales and pansies. Remember to check to see if the house numbers are easily read from the street. Finally, double check the front lighting fixture, it should be in good working order and turned on for all open houses and showings.
