Needed little repairs detract from a home's value and the few hours you spend as a handyman can pay you large benefits. Have them fixed. Clothes properly hung, shoes, hats and other articles neatly placed will make your closets appear adequate. Remove some clothing, if necessary, to make them look roomier. Colorful curtains in harmony with the floor and countertops add appeal.
Clear countertops help give a feeling of spaciousness.
Illumination is a welcome sign. Avoid having too many people present during showings. The prospect will feel like an intruder and will hurry through the house. Remind the children to stay in the background and out of the way. We want the prospect's attention focused on your home, in an unhurried way.
