Your front door says a lot about whether a buyer is welcome.
Your steps should be trip free as possible with hand rails as needed. Missing hand rails eliminate buyers that need them. If the buyer can't get in the door the showing can stop before it starts.
Your welcome mat should say "Welcome" and clean.
The Door should look clean & freshly painted or not needing touch ups. Hardware should be clean, working, & shined. Consider changing the lock if you need multiple keys or the locks are old and make the house look dated & in need of work prior to getting inside. Nothing is worse than a door that the key needs juggling to open to put the question in the mind of the buyer of what else am I going to have to fix even before they walk in the door. Be cautious with color as some colors offend potential buyers: white, black & neutral are best.
Limit decorations to one mat & one item on the door such as a knocker, a wreath, and one decorative mat.
I love my dogs but people with allergies don't want to see "wipe your paws". Pack the pet mat away for your new home.
