When selling your house, you want to get the best return you can on your investment.

To do that:

1. Price it right
2. Shape things up
3. Invest in good marketing

Shaping things up is up to you! Here are some tips:

Plant flowers
De-clutter (rent a storage unit if necessary)
Get rid of gaudy fixtures, like that plastic chandelier from the 70’s
Pressure wash
Weed and mulch
Paint (stay away from dark or extreme colors)
Tile or carpet

Homeowners sometimes don’t know what things to invest in before selling their home. Here are some rules of thumb.

You should get money back on:

1. Additions
2. Heating and cooling upgrades
3. Kitchens and bathrooms

You won’t get money back on:

1. A pool
2. A roof
3. Any maintenance that should have been taken care of anyway
