Inside Conduct the internal inspection starting at the front door and walking through the house as a buyer might. At each threshold stop and review individual rooms to gain a general first impression. Make a list of action items pertaining to the inside of the house. Poor lighting - Inspect those things that contribute to the brightness of the room. Open curtains and shades, make sure windows sparkle from inside and out, replace burned out light bulbs, and wipe down walls that contain smudges or marks.
Good lighting can contribute to a feeling of spaciousness.
Dirt - It appears in obvious places like heavily trafficked kitchens and baths, and some inconspicuous places that a serious buyer could investigate such as under furniture and appliances, in closets, on windowsills, and inside of cupboards. If your property is in a competitive market, it is strongly recommended that you hire a professional cleaning service to completely clean your house. A clean house gives the impression of being well cared for and offers a subtle assurance to most buyers. Too much furniture - This is often a problem when you have occupied a property for a number of years. In some cases, moving furniture from one room to another or removing certain pieces altogether can greatly improve the look and feel of a room.
