2. Keep your home in good repair. Make sure all light bulbs are working, paint is fresh (no chipped or missing paint), etc. A buyer can spot needed repairs and that may affect a potential sale.
3. Keep your home's appearance in neutral. Neutral colors are inviting, and allow a potential buyer to imagine themself in the home. This means decorating with neutral colors, and removing personal accessories such as most photographs, etc.
