I especially agree with the importance of cleaning up the front porch and front door. With so many people parking in garages and entering the home from a back door or via the garage, many homeowners almost never step on their own front porch. They don't realize that it is covered in cobwebs and the frame around the door is dirty. But buyers sure notice in the minute or two that the agent spends getting the door unlocked. I've seen many buyers walk inside expecting a house that is neglected...and the result is they find every imperfection. Would they have seen these flaws if the door had been clean? Maybe. Or maybe not. Your points are so true! I especially agree with the importance of cleaning up the front porch and front door.
