First Impressions Matter: Curb Appeal

• Power wash the exterior, driveway, and walkways
• Refresh landscaping and add colorful plants
• Paint or replace the front door
• Update exterior lighting and house numbers

Kitchen Updates That Pay Off

The kitchen is the heart of the home. Consider:

• Fresh paint in neutral colors

Bathroom Refresh

Clean, updated bathrooms are a must:

• Re-grout and re-caulk as needed
• Replace outdated fixtures

Declutter and Depersonalize

Buyers need to envision themselves in your home:

• Remove personal photos and memorabilia
• Clear countertops and surfaces
• Organize closets (buyers will look!)
• Consider a storage unit for excess furniture

Professional Staging

Staged homes typically sell faster and for more money. Consider professional staging, especially for vacant properties or homes with dated furniture.
