After setting a competitive and reasonable price, one of the most important things a homeowner can do to draw buyers is making the house look attractive. This includes cleaning up the front of the property so it looks neat, well-kept, and welcoming from the street. The front door should have a new coat of paint and quality hardware.

The front porch should be clean and free of clutter, and the exterior of the house should be in good repair. Ideally, the color of the house is neutral, and any splashes of color come from strategically placed plants. The lawn and bushes should be neatly trimmed.

Inside the house, rooms should be decluttered and any odors from pets or smoking should be eliminated. Neutral color schemes can be a positive strategic move since potential buyers may not like the same colors you like.

Bathrooms should be spotlessly clean and have attractive new accessories, such as rugs and towels. All rooms should have good lighting, and windows should be clean.

Homeowners who wish to take an extra step can renovate the kitchen. Most buyers appreciate updated kitchens, and the investment nearly always pays off.
