Home buyers always start the search with a list of must-haves for their new home: open concept main floor, master ensuite, granite countertops, privacy fence. The more of those must-haves a real estate agent can check-off, the closer a client moves to a home-buying decision.

Every list of tips for selling your home includes updating the front door. Showing your front door a little love can help boost your home value and increase buyer-appeal.
