1. Declutter & Depersonalize

Buyers want to envision themselves living in your home. Remove personal items such as family photos, collections, and excessive decor. Decluttering makes your space feel larger and more inviting.

First impressions matter! Ensure your front yard is well-maintained, add a fresh coat of paint to the front door, and consider potted plants or flowers to enhance the entrance.

3. Neutral Colors Work Best

A fresh coat of neutral paint (such as soft whites, light grays, or beige) makes spaces feel brighter and more open. It also helps potential buyers imagine their own style in the home.
