Dedicate one weekend each quarter to home maintenance. Clear the calendar and make a list. Tasks may include power washing, painting, clearing out the attic / garage or basement, or removing debris. It is also a good idea to prepare ahead of time by making sure the necessary supplies and tools are on hand.
Undertake at least one home improvement project each year. This may include upgrading your landscaping, repairing a cracked patio, finishing a basement or upgrading electrical capacity. A commitment to improving your home and property will pay off in the long run.
Before potential buyers even see what the home has to offer, they view its exterior. As a result, an unkempt or unattractive view of the outside of the home could potentially result in a missed opportunity. To show the house in its best light, consider the following:
1. Move all materials, including garbage cans and gardening supplies, from the front yard and into a garage or shed
2. Mow the lawn and weed and maintain all planted areas
3. Replace any outdoor light bulbs that are not working
4. Sweep walkways and steps, and remove all small items from the porch or patio
5. Replace worn or badly stained door mats
