1. Paint the exterior and/or paint or stain the front and garage doors, especially if they show any signs of weathering. This is the first visual where a buyer focuses. Are your doors metal and if so are they dented? They may need to be replaced. A fresh coat of paint can give even a relatively new home a much needed facelift.
2. Complete all needed repairs - To maximize a home's worth, it should be in good condition both inside and out. Don't wait until there is an offer on the home. Hire an inspector now, and fix any and all problems, such as roof deficiencies, leaky plumbing and electrical concerns. Remember that a buyer will focus on any small problem and aside from what they may ask for in the request for repairs it all represents a price deduction to them.
3. Purchase a home warranty - A buyer, especially a first time buyer, will feel more comfortable if they know there is a home warranty policy.
4. Stage your home - Furnishing a home in order to appeal to buyers can go a long way to getting your home sold. I fully advise using a professional stager, but if this option is not within your budget, think about creating an uncluttered space. You may want to put much of your current furniture in storage and just work with a few pieces in order to create a spacious feel. Take pictures and look at each room from a buyer's perspective.
5. Front yard landscaping - Curb appeal plays a significant role in the eyes of buyers in that first impressions go a long way. Make sure bushes and trees are properly trimmed, that you are adequately watering the lawn etc.
All of these tips will help you enhance the curb appeal of your home and attract potential buyers
