The buyer will believe that the car has been well taken care of and the maintenance has been done. Your home deserves the same treatment.

What can you do to make your home have "curb appeal"? You can start by asking your agent for suggestions. If there are minor repairs that you could perform easily, or perhaps some cosmetic upgrades that will make your home more appealing, you agent will discuss these improvements with you.

But be prepared to spend some time and money to spruce up the place. Other than cleaning supplies, your best investment is probably paint. Light neutral shades are your best choices. Don't get too fancy, just try to harmonize with your furniture.
