Keep lawn trimmed and edged, and the yard free of refuse. Be sure snow and ice are removed from walks and steps. Just touching up. A coat of paint on faded or worn walls or places where the kids have touched too many times will help. Dripping water discolors sinks and suggests faulty plumbing.
Bathrooms help sell homes.
Check and repair caulking in bathtubs and showers. Make this room sparkle. No mildew in tubs, tile, or on shower curtains. Repairs can make a big difference. Loose knobs, sticking doors and windows, warped cabinet drawers, broken light switches, fixtures with no working bulbs and other minor flaws detract from home value.
