There's no sense in fixing up the yard. After all, it’s the house they’re coming to see!
Or… See your yard as an extension of the house and give it a thorough once-over. Trim unruly bushes, pull weeds, spread fresh mulch, and keep it mowed. Your yard sets the expectations of the buyer before they’ve even stepped in your house.
