We have listed some tips that will help make your home more appealing to a potential buyer.

First impressions
The first thing a prospective buyer sees is the front of your home. Make sure the yards and landscaping are well manicured, flowers add a nice touch. Repaint the exterior of your home if necessary.

Sunlight
Open window coverings and clean windows/skylights to give your home a bright open feel.

Bathrooms and Kitchens
Make them bright and sparkling. Check and repair any broken tile or grout. Clean and recaulk around tub or shower. Mirrors should be clean and fixtures should be free of any leaks.

Closet and storage space
Buyers always want a lot of closet and storage space. Make sure yours are well organized and uncluttered. Dispose of the things you are not using.

Personal belongings
Remove excess furniture. Table and counter tops should be clear of all unnecessary items. An uncluttered home helps the buyer to visually move into your home.

Repairs
Doors, cabinets, windows and screens should be free of defects. Deferred maintenance is a turn-off for a new buyer.

Redecorate
Faded walls, worn woodwork and spotted carpet reduce appeal. Cosmetic touches cost very little and are a great investment.

Pets
Contain pets while your home is being shown, keeping them outside is best.
