Keep It Sparkle. A deep clean will make your home stand out and make it even easier to maintain, consider a cleaning service or hire someone trustworthy, it will pay tenfold.

Remove Clutter. Pack unnecessary items (are you are moving anyways?) keep counters cleared, remove extra furniture and take those precious family pictures and frames off the walls.

Take Care of Minor Repairs: “The Devil is in the Details”, dripping faucets, broken receptacles, burnt out bulbs, broken window class or sticky doors.

Brighten it up. Clean windows and screens and use light drapes and curtains and open them up to let light into your home, replace old bulbs and/or fixtures if too old.

Paint, Paint, Paint. Along with the previous tip,  painting will bring the most value, according to research a dollar spent in paint could potentially earn you back up to 10, clean walls, neutral, light  colors will make your home look more spacious and inviting.

Make it Comfortable. In summer keep A/C going before and during showings, in Winter keep a nice temperature throughout the home.

Eliminate Odors. Keep carpets, pets litters, kitchen’s waste in check, use deodorizers or scented fragrances, you can use anti-bacterial like lyson to spray garbage containers to diffuse any smell.

Curb Appeal. Is your yard ready for that very first impression, cutting the grass, rake leaves and clean out weeds, planting a few colorful shrubs and flowers can make your yard more inviting and welcoming and it could be done with a relatively minimal investment or hiring a landscape contractor if the budget allows it when time, personal commitment or ability/desire to do it yourself is not there.

Keep Valuables Locked up. Agents can’t watch everyone all the time

Keep Yourselves Out.  It could be awkward to everyone if you’re  home, at least make yourself unnoticed.
