1. Paint with neutral colours
Don’t brush off this first tip! If you’re planning to sell your home, fresh interior paint in neutral tones is in order. You might personally love your blue bedroom or coral kitchen, but potential buyers prefer a blank slate. Swap bold colours for grey or white and watch the offers roll in.

3. Deep clean your home
You know that feeling when an unexpected guest pops by and suddenly you see every dust speck and window streak? Buyers see those things too! A thorough home cleaning will ensure you sweep away the competition when it’s finally time to list.
4. Replace dated light fixtures
Dusty chandeliers? Lonely pendant lights? Dated lighting is a turn-off for potential buyers. Change out fussy light fixtures for streamlined modern ones to make buyers’ eyes light up!
5. Change light switches and cover plates
High-touch surfaces such as light switches and outlet cover plates can quickly look old and grimy. Replace light switches and outlet covers for a cohesive, clean look that’s sure to impress.
