Get rid of clutter. Pack away small decorative items,
dispose of unwanted clothing, and clean out the garage.

Wash your windows and screens to let in more light.

Thoroughly deep-clean everywhere to convince
buyers that your home has been well cared for.

Get rid of smells. Clean carpets and drapes to eliminate
cooking, smoke and pet odors. Open the windows.

Use higher wattage bulbs everywhere to make rooms
brighter, especially basements and other dark rooms.

Make minor repairs. Problems may seem trivial, but give
the impression that your house is not well maintained.

Replace any knobs and latches that don’t work correctly.

Tidy your yard, cut the grass, rake leaves, trim bushes,
and edge walks. Put bright flowers near the entryway.

Patch holes in your driveway and reapply sealant if used.

Clean your gutters and downspouts.
