Step 1. Preparing your home to sell - make it look great
Your goal is to dazzle buyers. Home buyers are attracted to clean, spacious and attractive houses. Brighten-up the house and scrub-down your house from top to bottom. Simple aesthetic improvements such as trimming trees, planting flowers, fixing squeaking steps, broken tiles, shampooing rugs and even re-painting a faded bedroom will greatly enhance the appeal of your house. Also, make sure your house smells good.
