Small fixes can make a big difference. Patch holes in walls, fix leaky faucets, replace burned-out light bulbs, and make sure doors and windows open smoothly. These minor details show buyers that the home has been cared for.

4. Boost Your Curb Appeal

Your home’s exterior is the first thing buyers will see both online and in person. Trim the lawn, edge the driveway, plant fresh flowers, and power-wash the siding or front walk. Consider painting the front door or updating your house numbers for a quick, welcoming upgrade.
