We’ve purchased a new house, and are selling our existing home. We don’t have a lot of money to fix up our existing home before selling it. Do you have any inexpensive suggestions?
Answer:
My first suggestion is to deep-clean the house and “make it sparkle!” Here are a few more tricks of the trade to help you get the most for your money:
“If your master bedroom looks drab, add new linens, pillows, and shams to spice it up the bedroom and add a little color.
“Buy a bright colored shower curtain and rug to perk up a dull bathroom. Re-grout if your bathroom grout is chipped or discolored.
“Eliminate clutter. Remove photos, knickknacks, refrigerator magnets and other personal items. Organize your cabinets and closets.
“Clear off kitchen and bathroom counter tops. Put away appliances.
“Arrange your furniture so it focuses on your home’s strongest feature (it may a view, a garden, flowers, or a painting). Remove excess furniture.
Create a “model home” look, clean, attractive with well-place items.
“Dress up your rooms with attractive area rugs and framed prints.
“Install new light fixtures if they’re damaged or unappealing.
“Paint your walls in neutral tones. Paint the front door if needed.
“Trim bushes and make sure the outside landscaping is neat and clean.
