Before placing you home on the market it is important to do these small items to increase the value of your home.  Here are a few simple tips to improve the look and feel of your home fast.

1 Low maintenance lawn care: overgrown lawns and bushes will cause your home to stand out- in a bad way.  Hire a landscaping service to tidy up, adding plants and trees will also help boost the home’s curb appeal.

2. Deep house cleaning;  Make sure your homes says “clean” to potential buyers.  Hire a cleaning service for a thorough top to bottom scrubbing.

3.  Make you home feel bigger:  You can’t change the square footage of your home, but you can make each room in your house feel larger.  A sunny room feels more open-replace heavy drapes with vertical blinds or shutters.  Clear any clutter, add shelving or storage to help organize.

4.  Repair and update:  Old wallpaper, light fixtures, popcorn ceilings and broken fixtures could turn buyers away.
