Remove Clutter
While it can be a chore to remove clutter, you'll still have competition from those who've cleaned up more than you. In fact, excessive clutter can make your house appear dirty to buyers.
Instead of moving it to the basement or attic where a buyer might see it, consider placing anything you won't be using in a storage unit for safekeeping.
Improve the Landscape
You can start making your landscape look more appealing by pulling weeds from driveway cracks, and flower beds, and raking leaves.
Secondly, try placing potted plants near the front door and planting brightly colored flowers to add pops of color. Trimming shrubs and hedges, and pruning trees can give your home's exterior a crisp appearance.
Another idea is to add fresh mulch around trees and plants. Finally, give your home a finishing touch by mowing the lawn.
Use the Right Paint
First impressions can be everything, especially in real estate. For instance, if a potential buyer sees how weather-beaten your house is, they'll likely head the other way.
Fortunately, you can use paint to cover up many flaws such as mold.
In addition, if they see a paint color that doesn't quite fit their expectations, they might decide against your home. For example, white is a safe option when choosing paint colors.
Polish It Up
It's often the little things that matter and real estate is no different. For instance, you might have a broken bathroom doorknob, dead lawn grass spots, or cracked kitchen tile.
All of these details can be unsightly to anyone who's looking to spend their hard-earned money on a new house. Beforehand, try walking around to find any flaws you can fix.
Buyers want to see a tidy house they can turn into a home that's personal to them.
Although you've likely spent years creating the cracks in the walls, little things matter. After all, potential buyers can and will notice anything that looks out of place.

This could mean you may not be selling your home anytime soon. On the bright side, with a bit of fixing up, your house can look like new again.
