Cleaning the bathroom.
You would be surprised at how many homes I've toured in which the bathroom could have had a much better positive impression on the buyer. One of the number one things I see buyers looking at is that caulking around the bathroom tub, toilet, and sink. Most of my buyers have come to expect clean, clean, and did I say clean bathroom?! Spending extra time in the bathroom could be the best thing a seller could do to make their home or sellable. Have you looked at the tiles in your bathroom lately? Many homes I've seen, need the grout lines cleaned and an yes very badly cleaned!
Keep in mind if you do not take the extra time and effort, buyers will only reflect that in the price that they offer for your house. A good way to think about it, is picturing your house as a silver food platter in which you could eat off of it if he had to.... But obviously you will not be eating off your floor! The reality is, what I'm saying is, your home needs to be clean enough to sell! If your home is not clean enough to the buyer standards, be prepared for a disappointing price reflection.
It's often the small things that could derail a sale, so my advice is just do it, get that bathroom cleaned up good! Know why you're at it, it would be very wise to check the rest of the house of specially the kitchen.
