1. Curb appeal  - make sure it looks inviting so that people will want to come in. Clean the roof. Mow the lawn. Maybe even put up an outside patio set. 

 

2. Repaint - do you have odd colors on the wall? Make things more tone neutral. 

 

3. Cabintes - Old cabinets can be painted an appealing white if your kitchen needs a facelift. 

 

4. Put down tile in the bathrooms. The upgrdae will pay off. 

 

5. Shampoo the carpets. It is pretty inexpensive and will really show once they are professionally cleaned. 

 

6. Fix leaking facuets - home inspectors will find this and call it out in the inspection

 

7. Clean up all the clutter - a nice organized home shows well

 

8. Take down peronal pictures so someone can envision themselves in the house.

 

9. Lighting is a plus. INstall high watt lightbulbs to enhance the lighting appeal

 

10. Replace an old ceiling fan with a nice fixture to help the room stand out more.
