1. Minimize: Less is more! Remove bulky pieces of furniture and reduce the number of items on counters, tops of furniture, and closets. Remove personal photographs and accessories to neutralize the space.
2. Remove heavy drapes: Removing heavy window coverings allows more natural light into the rooms, which photographs and shows better.
3. New hardware: Updating doorknobs and cabinet hardware can make a home feel more modern.
4. Landscaping: Ensure that all leaves are raked, edges are trimmed, and grass & shrubs are kept neat. Replace pine straw with mulch or refresh existing mulched areas.
5. Exterior touchup: Pressure wash the exterior of your home and paved areas. Touch up any painted areas that are flaking or chipping. Depending on the condition of the trim, repainting it can make a huge difference for curb appeal!
6. Neutral paint: Light, neutral paint can help the buyer flow through the home and imagine themselves and their belongings in it.
7. Clean flooring: Reinvigorate old or dirty carpet by having carpets professionally deep cleaned and stretched. Steam tile grout and touch up hardwood floors for a fresh appearance!
8. Replace garage door: Replacing the garage door has over a 90% return on investment and is a significant curb appeal enhancement.
9. Update light fixtures: Adding under cabinet lighting in the kitchen and switching a few central outdated light fixtures can freshen up the whole house.
10. Switch plate replacement: Dingy and unmatched light switch plates can take away from any other updates, such as new paint or refinished floors. Replace with inexpensive, white plates for maximum impact.
