Fresh paint, better lighting and a tidy entry often matter more than a big renovation.
Paint in neutral tones
One weekend of paint is the best return of any pre-listing project.
Light every room

Fix what buyers notice
Dripping taps, sticking doors and cracked switch plates suggest bigger problems. Fix them first.
First impressions
A swept path, a new doormat and a trimmed lawn set the tone for the whole showing.
