Flowers, car services, catering, legal help, etc.

All you need is one good candidate.Try to add some color to your exterior photos, even if it is silk flowers in a tub.   

Adding some silk plants for pops of green would be helpful.

@Geoffrey Flowers It all depends on where the lead is coming from.MLS - I will use an agent or on some properties I will go straight to the listing agent and make the offer through them declining representation.

In 6 months they broke 3 light fixtures - I had reports their kids were spraying a garden hose from the outside of the house into the kitchen, broke a large kitchen cabinet door, broke several plastic pieces of a new higher end Fridge, fist sized hole in the wall, carpet stains and the entire house may need another repaint, damaged woodwork, scratched kitchen cabinets, stole the curtain rods, curtains my wife spent a lot of time picking out stolen, destroyed the back yard - let the weeds grow several feet tall in the flower beds etc.  

Similar for the desert flowers in good years (last year was outstanding and this year looks like it could be outstanding).
