DECLUTTER! The extra knick-knacks may make it difficult for potential buyers to envision themselves there.

REPAINT IF NECESSARY! Choose a flat or eggshell finish, as glossy tends to accentuate flaws. Neutrals are best and easy on the buyer’s eyes.

TAKE CARE OF SMALL REPAIRS! Taking care of the minor details upfront will save you considerable headaches later.

SPRUCE UP YOUR CURB APPEAL! Power washing sidewalks and driveways, cleaning windows, painting your front door, planting flowers are all relatively inexpensive and will add instant curb appeal.

CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN! A good deep cleaning will help the home feel move-in ready.
