Garden a little: prune your trees/plants and get rid of the dead plants. A few weeks prior to the visits, water your lawn more often, spray some weed killer.

Driveway and paths should be cleaned up as well so there is no mould or weed between the pavers or cracks.

Renovate your bathroom

Consider tiling the alfresco area or pour some concrete and do not forget to make the rest of your backyard appealing as well. No one wants to spend time around dead grass, cracked concrete, and a plain fence.
