Thinking of having a professional makeover at a cosmetology salon? Wait a minute! Shouldn't you go to a skin care salon instead? Well, cosmetology is more than just hair care.

A great exercise to get the ball rolling is to standing in front of your home with critical "buyers eyes" and write down everything that comes to mind. It is always difficult for any home seller to see all the shortfalls of their own home yet it is critical in the success of the sale. To help you in this task ask trusted friends, neighbors, and family what they see when standing in front of your home.
