First impressions matter when you sell. You don’t need a major renovation, but a few practical steps help buyers see your home at its best.
Start with the basics
- Deep clean every room, including windows and floors
- Fix small items: loose handles, dripping faucets, chipped paint
- Declutter counters, closets, and storage areas
- Refresh the entry and front yard
Think about light and layout
Open the blinds, replace burned-out bulbs, and arrange furniture so each room’s purpose is clear. Photos and showings both go better in bright, simple spaces.
Get advice before spending
Not every upgrade pays off. Before you spend on larger projects, talk with your agent about what buyers in your area respond to. Questions about taxes on sale proceeds are best answered by a CPA.
