There are several things you can do to help prepare the home for sale. These are a few of the most important ones that require little out of pocket cost but make a big difference!

   -Keep the lawn and landscaping clean, cut, and looking good. Good curb appeal will bring more buyers in the front door.

   -Check all the light bulbs in your home and replace any that are not working

   -Finish up little projects, touch up painting mistakes, make sure light switches and outlets all have covers and work

   -Re-paint boldly painted rooms. While the colors may be appealing to you or your children, bright pink rooms often turn buyers off

   -Remove smells from the home. Cat litter or pet blankets often trap smells that turn people off, clean bedding and change litter often.
    if your basement has a musty smell consider running a dehumidifier.
