Step 1: Clean, Declutter & Organize.
It’s obvious, I know, but the importance of cleaning, decluttering and organizing cannot be overstated.
Declutter – it’s time to purge your house of unwanted, unnecessary items. Be brutal!
Deep clean – pay special attention to the kitchen, bathrooms, and windows. Yes, clean your windows and you’ll be amazed at how your home sparkles
Organize - this is one case where out of sight is not out of mind. Clean and organized storage tells buyers this home is loved.
Step 2: DIY, Minor & Misc. Repairs.
Take care of these minor issues before they become major problems

Refresh caulk, grout at tubs, showers, sinks, and counters
