SMALL IMPROVEMENTS = BIG FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Before you list, a few strategic fixes can turn “to-do list” into photo-ready, and help your home stand out online and in person.
Quick Wins (often under a day)
* Fresh paint (light, neutral) – brightens rooms and photographs beautifully.
* Swap bulbs + clean fixtures – consistent, warm lighting feels more inviting.
* Hardware refresh – new cabinet pulls & door handles modernize fast.
* Deep clean + grout refresh – kitchens/baths look newer instantly.
* Declutter + depersonalize – buyers picture their life, not yours.
* Curb appeal touch-ups – mulch, trimmed hedges, a crisp doormat.
High-ROI Touches (fast and sensible)
* Floor tune-up – steam clean carpets; buff/refinish wood where needed.
* Bathroom mini-lift – re-caulk, new mirror, updated faucet, bright towels.
* Kitchen polish – paint tired cabinets, replace a few fronts, new faucet, updated lighting.
* Outdoor living – simple seating vignette + potted greens.
Don’t Forget
* Test outlets & switches; replace cracked plates.
* Service HVAC and change filters.
* Fix leaky faucets & loose latches.
* Neutralize odors; avoid heavy fragrance.
