Number 3 - See your home through others’ eyes.

Try to see your home through a stranger’s critical eyes. Make a list of major or minor improvements to do. Better yet, enlist the expertise of a real estate professional to vouch for your home’s best features and be frank with you about its worst.

Number 4 - Do your fix-ups.

Repaint or at least touch up interior and exterior paint for a fresh, polished look. Replace items that show wear and tear. You can instantly modernize a room with upgrades to faucets or drawer pulls. Make sure light fixtures and windows are clean and bright to cast a good light on your home.
