Tip #10
Organize the garage
|
Do you ever find that you’re having trouble pulling your car into the garage because you have so much stored in there? Clean it up by storing everything you can at a helpful relative’s home or a rented storage unit. This way, your garage area will appear larger and when it comes time for you to move, you will be more organized.

Tip #9
Buy potted flowers
|
Flowers always brighten the appearance of a home and they add a pleasant odor. Most people do not want to buy fresh-cut flowers or spend money on something they will leave behind. A helpful alternative is to use clay or decorative pots as planters. Plus after they have helped to sell your current home, you can use them to brighten up your new home as well!!

Tip #8
Brighten things up
|
Add dramatic appearance to your house with new 100-watt light bulbs! A bright house looks larger, cleaner and more appealing to a potential buyer. This will create an open feeling, similar to the many new homes that are built today with lots of windows and skylights!

Tip #7
Paint the front door and the entry way
|
A fresh coat of paint will always help sell the house faster, but if you can’t afford to repaint the entire house, try this instead: paint the front door and, if needed, the entry area around the front door. If you don’t have any matching paint around to use, see if there is a plate fixture or some other item you can remove. Take it to the paint store to obtain a paint color that matches.

Tip #6
Have a garage sale
|
Have that garage sale you’ve been meaning to have, but never got around to. This is one of the quickest, easiest, and most cost effective ways to clear out those items that make your living space look cluttered.

Tip #5
Buy new furniture

Now is the best time for replacing old, worn out items with something new! Use your better judgment as to which items will actually make your current house look better to a prospective buyer.

Tip #4
Polish furniture
|
Polish all fixtures, brass, chrome, glass, etc. with a high polish. This will add a sparkle to your home!
|
Tip #3
Clean, clean, clean
|
A clean home will always sell faster, and you should accentuate the fact that you take care of your home. Have the carpets cleaned, clean up any clutter; clean the kitchen and the bathrooms

Tip #2
Water, fertilize and mow your lawn
|
Start watering your lawn immediately. A green, manicured lawn will create great curb appeal.
