Help the buyer find your house when its for sale

(1) Let your agent put up a for sale sign unless your association doesn't allow it. This will put the buyers on your home as quickly as possible when they are driving down the street and off the homes of other homes that may or may not be for sale.
(2) Make sure they can find it with large numbers of 3 inches or more so they don't pull into the wrong driveway.
(3) Make sure your house can be found with good direction in MLS and advertising.
(4) Trim any over grown bushes from the view of buyers form the drive, walkways, steps, and near the curb. Not only do they need to fins it, they need to get a good first impression.

First impressions- yes the mail boxs counts

Remember as buyers are pulling up to find your house they are looking at every deal. Make sure your mailbox is well cared for or replace or update date it. Even the little things matter

Rain days and the days after are great for home shopping.

Many people don't like to look on a rainy day or have there home shown on a rainy day. But rainy days let you see and smell things that may effect your home purchasing decision. Some floors show more dirt on a rainy day and are harder to maintain. Basement, attics, windows, doors may leak or smell musty or better yet not have any problems. See it on a rainy day. Sellers that take there homes off on inclement days may be either not motivated or hiding something. You may get a better property inside view or see grading issues on the exterior that you may not otherwise say on a sunny day.

Sign or no sign?

Motivated sellers want as many buyers to see their home is for sale as quickly as possible. Signs are one way to get market visibility. Unless, every home has a for sale sign (which may indicate there is a problem in the area) or if your in the middle of an election property signs let people know this by simple driving buy. it also helps them find your house quickly driving down the street. I strongly recommend signs unless you are in a condo and gated/closed communities that restrictions or prohibit signage.
