When the potential buyer tours the inside of your home, he or she will not be interested in how well you ve organized your belongings. The buyers will want to visualize their own furniture in the space, and to see how much work needs to be done to make it home for them. Keep your home clutter-free and store anything that doesn t add to the decor in your own furniture instead of in the closets. You may consider renting a storage space for anything not needed during the time your house is on the market, especially items of personal value. Not only will this create the illusion that your home is roomier than it actually is, it will also help buyers visualize the home as theirs.
Paint is the cheapest and easiest home improvement for home sellers.
If there are rooms painted in unusual colors, or rooms that appear dark and small, a coat of white paint will easily transform those areas into attractive spaces. White paint is safe it s a blank canvas and makes any room appear brighter. Avoid painting any areas that aren t already painted, such as bare wood or cement, unless they re in a bad condition. Be honest about your home s flaws, such as leaky plumbing or a poor roof. If the defect will detract from the home s curb appeal, fix it before the home is on the market.
