- Clean up: It goes without saying that you want your home to look it’s best and that means as spotless as possible
- Fresh coat of paint: Keep the color neutral so as not to overwhelm would-be buyers
- Repair: Buyers are wary about home maintenance so make sure all is in good working order
- Declutter: Remove personal items and artifacts to help the buyer visualize the home as “theirs”
- Update the kitchen; If you’re going to update any area, start with the kitchen, which is considered the focal point of a home
- Curb appeal: The first thing buyers see will the outside of your home and yard as they pull up so make sure it looks as inviting as possible
- Staging: 73 percent of staged home sell for over their asking price so this might be a worthwhile investment
