1. Make the front entrance inviting. If the front yard or entry way looks unkempt, buyers may not even make it in the door!
2. Clear away clutter. This is crucial! Clutter makes it difficult for buyers to see your house because they are distracted by all
the stuff in it.
3. Clean the house thoroughly. Have a professional cleaning company come in and do a deep cleaning. Don't forget to have
the outside cleaned too - pressure wash the house, walkways, driveway and any outside furniture so that it looks its best.
4. Freshen rooms with paint. Fresh paint in a neutral color is one of the least expensive investments you can make. Rooms
should flow, so keep colors in the same palette.
5. Arrange furniture for spaciousness. Most rooms have too much furniture. Edit down to the necessities and arrange the
furniture so buyers can walk into each room easily.
6. Remove odors. You can't sell it if you can smell it! You may not notice animal, smoke or food smells because you live with
it every day.
7. Perform minor repairs. Buyers want a house that is move-in ready!
8. Replace outdated light fixtures. This is another inexpensive improvement that will give you a good return on your
investment.
9. Clean the carpets. Have a professional company clean and stretch the carpets to make them look new and fresh.
10. Don't forget the basement & garage. If you use these areas for storage, make sure they're clean and tidy with boxes and
bins stacked neatly.
