I spent some time at my Grandmother's helping get her house ready for sale. What an amazing amount of work it is prepping an older home for sale. The two 'easier' actions you can take are painting the interior and pressure washing the exterior areas. These are two tasks that will drastically improve the impression your home makes on buyers and will cost very little compared to the return they will bring.

I'm always amazed at homeowners who put their properties for sale after the Fall fires each year because the house is covered in ashes. All of California is a high fire-hazard area, so people who want to live here for the beaches and the weather already know that. Consequently, a simple power washing of the exterior can do so much.

Working with older persons to get their home ready takes a lot of patience. Hiring help is often well worth it!

I like paint. It's cheap and it makes everything look new and fresh.
Doesn't it feel great to help the elderly?
